It's the most wonderful time of the year! Our 5th annual tamalada is back—this all hands on deck cooking class sells out fast and is a great way to bring people together. We will make one master masa to use in two kinds of tamales. A succulent brisket braised in chile colorado will fill one of the tamales as juicy mushrooms with fresh salsa verde fill the other one. Learn techniques for how to make the masa, how to shape and cook the tamales, but also how to use the masa if you don't have time for tamales. Everyone will leave with a couple of tamales to take home!
