THE FLAVORS OF ANDALUCIA
This southernmost region of Spain is where Chef Jose Luis was born, and the gutsy, peasant cooking that characterizes the region is some of the most flavorful of the Iberian peninsula. We will prepare a hearty meal, beginning with gambas al ajillo, the shrimp dish that incorporates a classic Spanish triumvirate: toasted garlic, sherry and pimentón. We follow with remojón, an intriquiging orange-vegetable salad from Granada, which we’ll top with mojama: tuna loin cured in the style of jamón Serrano. Entrées will include almejas a la marinera, our favorite way to prepare clams (spiked with sherry), and finally albondigas de gallina y jamón: deliciously different chicken and ham meatballs. Cost $250.00 all inclusive (cooking class, sangria served throughout, lunch with all the dishes prepared, tres leches cake for dessert, service and tax), Sunday June 22nd, 11:00 am. Meet at Iberia.

At the end of the class you all will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor. While we cook, beverages such as Iberia’s sangria and wine will be served and at the end of the class you all will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
