Tapas and Pintxos *In-Person*

Pintxos, the hot new trend in Spanish tapas, are traditional bar snacks hailing from the Basque country in Northern Spain. The name comes from the verb “to pierce” because they're often served on small skewers on the bar. Tapas are traditionally a single-food item whereas pintxos can be a pile of different food items held together with a toothpick. Colorful and elegant, these little bites pack a big flavor punch. In this class, we'll be eating the seasonally-inspired tapas and pintxos alongside sparkling cava from Catalonia and D.O. red wines. Will finish with extra virgin olive oil tortes from Seville and a glass of cream sherry. We will make our classic gambas al ajillo and chorizo braised in red wine tapas, and classic pintxos of goat cheese and caramelized onion. Also, pork belly green pepper with lemon zest among others. Dish them up by the plateful at your next party and keep the beer, wine, and conversation flowing! Instructor: Luis de Haro
