Hecho con Amor: Plant Based Green Pozole | $55

In this class participants will learn how to make a plant-based Mexican staple, pozole! We will be making green oyster mushroom pozole featuring red hominy. Participants will learn how to properly substitute meat with savory mushrooms to ensure a delicious vegan alternative without compromising flavor. Additionally, participants will learn how to nixtamalize and cook hominy from scratch. Hope you can join us! Special guest, Marlene Aguilar of Irekuarhikua.
