About this Event

Age Restrictions

For ages 18 & up



Description

Broaden your repertoire by learning to make an iconic Spanish rice dish filled with a variety of vegetables. As you and your teammates produce this meatless dish that is perfect for feeding the family or casual entertaining, you'll pick up tips on creating a flavorful base - the sofregit- and discover the secret to forming the socarrat or crunchy rice that develops on the bottom of the pan. While the paella simmers, you'll make and enjoy a flavorful small plate of spinach with chickpeas and whip up a simple but stunning dessert.

For ages 18 & up. 21 or older? You'll enjoy a glass of Spanish wine with your meal.

  • Paella de Verduras de la Casa (Vegetarian Paella)
