Kerryn and Mark gave us a cooking class for our birthdays. We met our teacher at the central market at 10am. It was a very wet morning, but we donned our rain jackets and headed out. There was just the two of us for a private lesson.
After shopping for fish and fruit and veges, we headed off to the kitchen, where we made a sauce (pebre) tomato, chilli, coriander, onions, olive oil and salt. This was served with a deep fried pumpkin fritter. We had a cocktail, Pisco sour to accompany it.
The next course was ceviche ( fish for Peter, mushroom for Pam) served with white wine. We mixed our fish/mushroom with lime juice, red onion, diced chillies, salt, coriander, ginger and avocado, and served with watercress and plantain chips
Then came the Empanadas with red wine. It had meat, onion, sultana, egg and olive in a pastry case. And of course, red wine (even though Peter was still on the white when the photo was taken)
The final course was Leche Asada, a kind of creme caramel. We had made it early on in the cooking lesson, so it could cool down in time for eating. As you can see, we need to work on our plating skills. Finished off with coffee
We finally left about 4.30pm with full bellies after a very enjoyable day. We will try and replicate these when we get home.
