Mole Making & Beer Tasting Class - Silver Lake
January 29, 12:00 PM
Mole making and beer tasting class! And as you cook your mole, try samples our four home brewed beers and expand your knowledge of beer. For those who are not familiar with mole, it is a delicious Mexican sauce made of rich ingredients and spices like pastilla chilies, almonds, raisins, coriander, and CHOCOLATE! There are many varieties of mole, but they all have the same basic ingredient: chilies, which are ground into a fine paste with other spices. After it cooks up in a gentle simmer, the finished product is a rich, dark sauce that is traditionally eaten with chicken and rice. Learn how to make this great Mexican specialty at Tarascos during one of our hands-on mole-making courses. Impress your friends by making this scrumptious Mexican classic and have a beer too! You can also take home up to 6oz of your homemade sauce to your friends and family! $96.00
