Mexican Comfort Food
Soulful dishes eaten at home
with Renata Lira

Mexican home cooking is defined by its guisados: flavorful, slow-simmered dishes that fill the kitchen with warmth. These are foods meant to be eaten with tortillas and shared around the table.

In this class, we’ll prepare mole de hongos, a rich, earthy mushroom stew in a deeply aromatic, nutty mole sauce. It will be served with its essential companions: frijoles de olla, arroz rojo, freshly made corn tortillas, and sweet plantains with cream and cheese for a comforting, home-style finish.

Menu:

  •  Mole de hongos (mushrooms in rich mole sauce)
  •  Frijoles de olla (pot beans)
  •  Mexican-style red rice
  •  Freshly-made corn tortillas
  •  Sweet plantains with fresh cream and cheese
