About this Pre-Recorded Class:

Join guest chef Rick Martínez, James Beard Award winner and author of “Mi Cocina,” for a pre-recorded livestream Zoom class that will transport you to two coastal Mexican states: Jalisco and Sinaloa. First, similar to mole but with a shorter ingredient list, pipián is a rich sauce flavored with bold spices like allspice and cloves. With just the right amount of heat from ancho chiles and chiles de árbol, this sauce can transform a rotisserie chicken, quick pan-seared shrimp or any vegetables of your choosing into a celebratory main course. Rick will teach you how to make Pipián Rojo the way they do it in Jalisco: loaded with pumpkin seeds, peanuts and sesame. Then, you’ll learn to make iconic tacos gobernador from Mazatlán in Sinaloa. Classic tacos gobernador combine shrimp and buttery sautéed vegetables inside a toasted, cheese-filled tortilla. As you make your tacos, you won’t just learn how to perfectly cook shrimp and why Rick recommends using both poblano and serrano peppers: you’ll also learn the colorful history of this taco, which was invented by an enterprising restaurateur to impress a local bureaucrat. You’ll also get a peek into the journey that Rick went on to write “Mi Cocina” and will hear stories from the seaside town in Mexico he now calls home.
