SUMMARY:Culture Through Cuisine: Mexican Tamales and Holiday Traditions
DESCRIPTION:This event is SOLD OUT. \nA traditional dish found across Latin America\, tamales have origins that date back to the Aztecs and Mayas. Today\, the largest varieties of tamales are found in Mexico\, with flavors varying by region. But no matter how they are made or what they are filled with\, tamales symbolize more than just a meal. Passed down through generations\, the art of making tamales reflects the value of family\, nourishment\, and collectiveness. And although they are made all year long\, tamales have come to embody the holiday spirit of “togetherness.” \nJoin us for a special Culture Through Cuisine at El Burrito Minneapolis as we explore the long-cherished tradition of Mexican tamales\, specifically those made for the holidays. The evening will feature a tamal-making demo by Milissa Silva-Diaz\, owner and CEO of El Burrito Mercado\, and a three-course dinner including chicken tamales with green tomatillo sauce (tamales oaxaqueños)\, pork tamales in red sauce\, vegetarian tamales with poblano chile and cheese (rajas con queso)\, and sweet dessert tamales (tamales dulces). We’ll also hear from Consul of Mexico Gerardo Guerrero\, on Mexican holiday traditions. \nRegistration includes dinner\, traditional holiday punch (ponche)\, tax\, and gratuity. A cash bar will be available. Advance registration required. \nAbout Consul Guerrero\nThe fourth Consul of Mexico in St. Paul\, Gerardo Guerrero has worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1987 and joined the Diplomatic Corps in 1997.
