Discover the bold, aromatic flavors of Ethiopian cuisine in this hands-on plant-based cooking class. Using traditional spices and techniques, we’ll create a vibrant menu of stews, pastries, and vegetables, and we’ll consider the textures and tastes that make Ethiopian cuisine – and the regional cuisines within it – unique. Students will work in groups to prepare Curried Chickpea & Lentil Stew with Warm Injera Bread; Lentil Jalapeño Sambusa Pastries with Cilantro Citrus Relish; Cumin Sizzled Collard Greens with Tomato Chili Confit; Berbere Seared Mushrooms with Charred Eggplant Purée; Orange & Caramelized Leek Wild Rice Pilaf; and Ethiopian Coffee Chocolate Avocado Mousse.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
