Vegetarian Spanish Tapas *In-Person*

Madrid Spain is home to many vegetarian restaurants. Most tapas bars offer vegetarian tapas and some dishes are naturally vegetarian. In this class, we’ll learn various types of vegetarian tapas including, 6-month-aged Manchego cheese with Cordoba quince, classic Tortilla Espanola-paisana with exotic vegetables, our goat cheese tapa with caramelized onion, and Marinated Rioja piquillos. We’ll also make the old-fashioned way classic Pisto Manchego from the land of Don Quixote. Tapas will be served with authentic sangria. A classic and easy-to-make Spanish Flan will top our vegetarian parade. Instructor: Luis de Haro
