Valencia Spanish Paella *In-Person*

Join Chef Luis and learn how to make the world’s most renowned rice dish, Paella Mixta. Luis' authentic version contains shrimp, mussels, chicken, saffron, pimentos, peas, tomatoes, scallops or squid (depending on the season), and more. Because it takes time to make an authentic paella, we will start our night off with some simple tapas and a classic green salad from Spain and real sangria while the paella is cooking. You'll learn about what distinguishes mediocre paella from exceptional paella, why to use the best type of rice from Spain and premium quality saffron from La Mancha, as well as other tools and ingredients to choose from. We will end our night with Chef Luis’ famous flan. Instructor: Luis de Haro
