About

We'll work in groups to tackle one of the more complex dishes in Mexican gastronomy, mole coloradito, which features more than 25 ingredients. Through this process, you'll learn about the cooking techniques that go into this iconic dish and how they can be applied to make nearly any Mexican mole. 

Mole as a food category tells an incredibly rich, complicated, and delicious story about Mexican gastronomy over many centuries, and the social, cultural, and political influences that went into making it known as one of Mexico’s most recognizable dishes. 

Together we'll break down this complex dish into easily understandable steps. 

On the menu:

  • Mole coloradito alongside braised chicken.
  • Corn tortillas you've shaped and cooked, so you can sop up every last drop of mole on your plate!
  • Arroz rojo and frijoles de olla prepared by your instructor ahead of time, so can have the traditional side dishes that make mole a complete meal. 

BARN’s kitchen facility regularly uses ingredients on the FDA’s major allergens list. This class uses: milk, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat.

 

Details

A $25 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers all ingredients.

Class Policies

Instructor
Gino Garcia

Gino is a trained chef, culinary educator, and author of Disney Pixar’s Coco: The Official Cookbook. Gino’s style of cooking is inspired by his familial roots in Mexico and his upbringing in the agricultural regions of California’s Central Valley. Currently based out of Seattle, he enjoys hosting pop-up events celebrating regional cuisines of Mexico and Latin America, teaching cooking classes, and building community through food and storytelling. When he’s not teaching, he is busy spreading the gospel of his chef-created, glitter-infused chile salt brand, Salecito, which features lesser-known Mexican ingredients and flavor combinations that glam up snacks and beverages. Before entering the cooking world, Gino worked as a consultant in the public health sector focusing on issues related to improved nutrition, food access, healthcare, and disease prevention in immigrant and BIPOC communities.
