Seafood skills: Ceviche masterclass (in person) – FUNDRAISER for Ukraine, SOLD OUT
About this event
In this class, chef Diego Ricaurte helps you develop your confidence in selecting and cooking with seasonal, sustainable seafood, using traditional Latin American flavours.
Diego has been moved by recent world events and has decided to donate his time and the ingredients for this class to raise funds for the Disaster Emergency Committee’s appeal for Ukraine. A portion of each ticket price will fund this important work.
The menu typically includes dishes such as:
- Classic Peruvian fish ceviche and leche de tigre, served with sweet potato and corn, alongside some entertaining food history
- Oyster ‘crudo’ with wild garlic salsa
- You will also prepare aji criollo, a fresh chilli sauce to accompany both dishes
- Foraged seashore herbs will be incorporated into the cooking, such as samphire, purslane and sea beetroot
You will practise filleting your round fish and, for a food-waste free evening, learn how to use the fish carcass and head to create a delicious, tasty fish stock.
Diego will also advise on the dos and don’ts of choosing quality seafood, how to nurture a relationship with your fishmonger and what you need to know to check the sustainability of a catch. At the end of this class , you’ll have a wealth of seafood knowhow and some important techniques under your belt.
Note that local availability will determine the fish used on the day.
