Recipe: Blue Masa Tortillas

Topic: Biodiversity preservation and cultural reclamation


The Story Behind the Dish

Come join me in making tortillas (hecho de mano) from my nixtamalized blue masa harina. You are more than welcome to bring your own fillings to make tacos after the class or, save them for later and put them in migas, chilaquiles & more! I will be sharing knowledge on the historical importance of corn and the impacts of agricultural monocropping on biodiversity. We will hold space for discussion before and after the instruction to talk about the impacts of reduced biodiversity on culture and diets in low-income, urban communities in the United States and around the world. 


What you’ll need! 

  1. Blue masa, regular masa (any corn flour) from a local latinx market

  2. Water

  3. Rolling pin

  4. Coconut oil or lard

  5. Cast iron or comal

  6. Baking powder

  7. Salt 

  8. Parchment Paper

  9. Oven 


I encourage people to use a locally sourced masa harina if possible, but you can also use the Maseca brand for a more economical option. Since this class is about our varied access to different corn species, you may have trouble finding a diverse range of options. Use this as an important observation to bring to our discussion!  There are many varieties of corn you can use for this recipe, so explore if possible! :-)

Codfish Moqueca Baiana with Sandra Rocha Evanoff

Codfish Moqueca Baiana


The Story Behind the Dish

Moqueca Baiana is a fish stew, made with fish and shrimp. It's from Bahia in northern Brazil. It's one the most popular dishes in the country and can be prepared in many different ways. Here in the USA, I use halibut or codfish. It's very colorful like Brazil.

Moqueca Baiana reminds me of my childhood in Bahia when my mother bought the fish at the farmers market and we would go to the river behind our home to clean the fish.   The origin of the moqueca, still uncertain if it were the Portuguese, that brought to Brazil, and had a fusion with African cuisine with their ingredients, such as palm oil, coconut milk, and spices, or came from the indigenous who were in Brazil, when the Portuguese arrived. Fish was one of the main dishes from the indigenous.  What I know, no matter where you come from, we all love moqueca. I am from Bahia and we love moqueca.


What you’ll need! 


We will need a big open pan (large skillet pan, a medium fried pan for the farofa or pirao, and small deep pan for the rice,  wood spoons, knives). If you do not eat fish or shrimp we can make the moqueca with veggies, or we can make  it with plantain banana with the same ingredients, jackfruits or whatever veggies you want!


The ingredients for 4 people recipe: 

  • 1 1/2 pound of Cod fish or halibut (cuted in thick about 1 inch) (Any fish better with white types)

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp peeled 

  • 1 lime, juiced 

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons palm oil (without is okay)

  • 3 large tomatoes

  • 1/2 onion, chopped very small 

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 yellow pepper diced 

  • 1/2  bunch cilantro, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 cups coconut milk

  • 1 tablespoon of paprika

  • 1/2 tablespoon of coriander

  • red crushed pepper 







Palm oil farofa.

 We normally serve the moqueca with white rice, and farofa, or pirao. Farofa is made with yucca flour (called farinha). Pirao ( which is a yuca cream, almost a grits) has the same ingredients.

  • 1/4 onion

  • yucca flower or "farinha"

  •  salt a taste

  • black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon of palm oil

  • red crush pepper

  • 1 1/2 cup of jasmine rice (1 cloves of garlic chopped,  1 tablespoon of fresh onion chopped, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt and water to cook).



About Sandra Rocha Evanoff

My name is Sandra Rocha Evanoff.  I was born in the Bahia region of northern Brazil.  I was introduced to the kitchen at a young age while assisting my mother in the small bed and breakfast she operated. I learned about fresh foods from my father who operated a fruit market.  Here began my exposure to healthy eating as we prepared foods we had grown ourselves. 

When I moved to Seattle, in 2008, I started donating  my dinner as an auction item to support my community. The dinner called Brasil Comes to You.  Every year I donated one to three dinners. It's been 13 years since I donated this dinner. In 2018,  I received a call that someone wanted to hire for a dinner for 25 people. So, I accepted the challenge and in the same year we opened Brasil Comes to You. I think I would like to share this journey, how community service has changed my life, and how Social Gastronomy, which started because I wanted to help the community, turned into a small business. We still help our community with a portion of our income. We still donate our dinner + cooking fresh and healthy food for people who are living in shelters in our community.


We believe the magic of food helps connect people, build relationships, inspire change, and bring the community together.  Eating fresh, and healthy is our ultimate goal.

Recipe: Veggie Colombian Picada


The story behind the dishes:
The story behind this recipe started when I was a child and during special family celebrations, meat was always in the dish. This year I became a completely vegetarian person, so besides the typical veggie food we see in social media recipes, I wondered how I can transform a traditional Colombian dish called "Picada" whose main ingredient is meat. So one day I decided to experiment with the food I already had at home and the result was amazing. 

I just mixed some ingredients at home to prepare my lunch, I posted it on social media and a friend told me "it looks like a Picada" then I discovered that my experiment resulted in a particular and delicious representative creation of my country. 

What you’ll need!
 

Ingredients:

- 200 g of mushrooms
- 100 g of spinach
- 150 g of previously cooked quinoa
- 2 cooked plantains
-  2 small cooked potatoes
- 1 avocado
-  Salt, oregano, garlic, and coriander 

Equipment:
- A frying pan
-  A medium and small pot
- A palette knife
- A wood spoon
- A fork
- A cutting board

Guatemalan Heritage Cooking with Chef Amalia Moreno-Damgaard

Jocón, Chicken tomatillo, and Cilantro Stew

This stew is 1 of 5 declared intangible cultural patrimony of Guatemala.

The story behind the dish: 

Guatemalan cuisine is deeply rooted in the Mayan culture. Jocón (pronounced ho-CON) is a dish from Huehuetenango, a department located in western Guatemala, and the surrounding region. The recipe varies slightly from family to family. This is my simplified version. It is not only easy to make but also hearty and delicious. The sauce has a vibrant green color.

What you’ll need!

Serves 4 to 6 people

4 to 6 skinless chicken thighs, visible fat removed

1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken stock

1 small whole onion, peeled and t-scored

1/2 cup cilantro (whole stems and leaves included)

1 cup trimmed green onions cut into 1-inch pieces

2 large garlic cloves, peeled

1 1/2 cups tomatillos (about 10 tomatillos), husked and quartered

1/2 cup seeded, chopped green bell pepper

1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped (3/4 to 1 cup)

1 cup roughly chopped cilantro (stems and leaves)

1 whole Serrano pepper, seeds and veins included (optional)

2 corn tortillas, torn into small pieces

1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken stock

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

Fresh cilantro sprigs


Shopping Tips: All ingredients are available at any mainstream Latin grocery store. Buy white corn tortillas

Prep in advance: Shop, wash, and prep all ingredients according to the recipe. 

Cooking Equipment: 

2 medium saucepans, 1 stirring spoon or an immersion/regular blender, medium bowl, kitchen towels. 


Instructions: 

  1. Cook the chicken in the stock with the onion and cilantro in a medium saucepan until the chicken is tender (20 to 30 minutes).

  2. While the chicken is cooking, cook the rest of the ingredients (except the seasonings and garnish) in a separate saucepan. Bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer covered until the vegetables are soft (5 to 8 minutes).

  3. When the chicken is done, transfer it to a dish and set it aside. Reserve the onion, cilantro, and stock.

  4. Combine the vegetable mixture with the onion, cilantro, and stock. In a blender or food processor, purée the mixture until it’s smooth. Pour the purée back into the pot and add the chicken. Stir and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer. The sauce should look smooth, velvety, and bright green.

  5. Season the stew with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

  6. Serve the stew garnished with cilantro sprigs.

Coffee cured Dorada


Topic: Farm to table with Coffee

The story behind the dish: 

Coffee is one of the most consumed food and beverage items in the world. We will attempt to showcase the different elements of coffee, highlighting those who get wasted in the process as well. The idea is to express the whole identity of coffee through our cooking!

Additional Info: We will be making a few elements with coffee. We are aware that not all the ingredients will be available for everyone. The idea is to make a part of the dishes as a class, and the rest will be more of a representation of our work and the coffee plant. 


What you’ll need!
1 x 500g white fish filet (pat dried), I will use Dorada

100g coarse Salt

100g sugar

40g coffee grounds

Zest of 1 lime

Black pepper


Additionally we will use the coffee tree leaves during the curing step.

You can use any herbs you have available


Mix all the ingredients and put them under and over the pat dried filet.

Allow to cure for 24h-48h. Turning it every 12h.


If you have the availability to use a smoker:

Lightly smoke the fish. For this step we will use the coffee shells that get wasted during the coffee roast.


For the sauce:

Infuse coffee shells and water for 4 minutes, strain.

Add the honey and reduce in a low simmer until the sauce has a syrup-like consistency.

Alternatively, you can also use ground coffee.


Serve with creme fraiche and whole grain toasts

About Camila and Laura
Camila and Laura; we have just opened a cafe in the heart of Lima-Peru, this new space is called Amarena Café. We have always dreamed of having a space where people would just feel happy. Through the process we fell in love with coffee, and we are learning each day about this amazing plant. Laura has been part of the SGM movement for a few months now, and Camila has always been passionate about learning and supporting all the people involved in the food chain.

We are living at a time when we have an ironic double-edged paradox: on one hand, millions of people sleep hungry every day and millions more do not have enough to eat. On the other hand, billions of tonnes of food are wasted and are not consumed. Wastage occurs at different stages in the value chain: production, harvest, value addition and processing, storage, retail, and consumption. Wastage occurs in farms, markets, hotels/restaurants, and households. This forms the basis and premise of my class. What if we dried and powdered millions of tonnes of food items that would go to waste anyway and put that food to good and efficient use? The advantages are immense and it is those I wish to talk about whilst highlighting how they can be creatively incorporated into different meals.  


What you’ll need! 

  1. Dehydrator (optional)

  2. Freeze dryer (optional)

  3. Food processor, blender or spice blend mixer (optional)


Notes about the class

This class is about asking questions and getting live feedback on how to increase nutrient density in a vegan diet.  Don’t worry if you don’t have the equipment! Come on in, take notes, and most importantly go back and try to implement what you learn! 


About Nic Omundo

I am a vegan and an exclusive vegan chef with a major focus on using food as a powerful tool to solve some of humanity's biggest problems. In 2016, I Co-founded Organic Life Limited, an agri-technology company based in Nairobi, Kenya that leverages technology at the intersection of sustainable food systems and positive human health. I have written two books: Organic Life's Guide to Concoctions and Minimal Eats, Ideas for Living, and Eating.  Both books speak on health and wellness. They particularly emphasize the need to see food not just as a means to fill our stomachs but as a gateway to sustainable health both for humans and the planet.  

I am also a member of different organizations that at their core champion sustainable food systems. They include Social Gastronomy Movement (Brazil), The Chef's Manifesto (UK) Route to Food Initiative (KE) as well as the Future Food Institute (Italy). 

I believe that food has the same agency to heal us as it does to make us sick. As such, I only eat and cook plant-based foods for two main reasons. First, that we may take back and be in control of our health and second, that we may sustainably enjoy this one planet that we call home. I advocate for sustainable food systems and responsible consumption of food given that agricultural production is the number one cause of the climate crisis

I use my cooking skills to demonstrate to people that in going vegan or at least plant-based, there is absolutely nothing we lack - from nutrients to flavor and variety. 

I am convinced that veganism is not about being rich, fancy, sophisticated, complicated, or privileged. Veganism is about combining everyday food items (with the exception of any animal or dairy products) in new and exciting ways to come up with something sweet, delicious, savory, and most importantly nutrient-dense.

Wild Ajo Blanco

 Art and Techniques

The Story Behind the Dish

The story behind the Wild Ajo Blanco is a rather simple and romantic one: Spending a few summer days in Italy with friends, we were craving something refreshing and filling at the same time. Gazpacho sounded like a great idea but we already had plenty of tomatoes from the garden that day.  We bought a bunch of almonds that morning at the market so we thought of trying out a chilled almond soup. We drank full glasses of it, laying down in the grass. Later on, I brought the recipe back to the restaurant and developed a Wild version of the Ajo Blanco, to hold on to that summer day. This dish soon became everyone's favorite, for the simplicity of it and the pureness of the ingredients. 


What you’ll need!

About Caterina Ravano 

Caterina Ravano 26yo, Chef and owner of Wild Project restaurant.

We grow up in a society where foie gras is synonymous with luxury, but a bunch of beans grown responsibly and locally is still considered poor. Through my cooking I try to reverse that, and to find a voice for what I stand for as a human being: animal liberation and climate justice. I believe it is our duty to leave the planet in a better state than we found it, and a very good place to start is what we put on our plate.

About Hussain Shahzad

Chef Hussain Shahzad brings his signature blend of curiosity, high energy, and global experience as Executive Chef at Hunger Inc. Hospitality Pvt Ltd, (The Bombay Canteen & O Pedro). Passionate about cooking since a young age, Hussain spent his growing up years in Chennai where his tryst with the kitchen began with a simple omelet sandwich. His love for food grew over the years with sessions in the kitchen after school, cooking up fun evening snacks for his younger brother. This led him on the path of gastronomy, and he joined the Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration in Manipal, Karnataka, in 2005. After graduating, he worked with The Oberoi Group of Hotels as a Senior Kitchen Executive at Frangipani, Mumbai, before moving to New York in early 2014. He spent a year at Eleven Madison Park, the famed New York restaurant, where he developed and refined his culinary techniques. Coupled with his passion for food is his love for adventure – and this took Hussain on a culinary journey across several countries including Portugal, the USA, and Turkey, with a brief stint as personal chef to tennis star Roger Federer. 


Hussain had a deep yearning to return to India to be a part of the fast-changing food scene in the country. Around this time, the Hunger Inc. team was looking for a senior chef for their first venture -The Bombay Canteen. In late 2015, Hussain returned to India and joined The Bombay Canteen as Sous Chef. Having played a significant role in the success of The Bombay Canteen, it was but natural for Hussain to helm the company’s next restaurant venture - O Pedro, which opened in Mumbai in October 2017. Hussain has made a significant contribution to the success of opening and driving concepts at O Pedro. Continuous innovation, rooted in the culinary cultures of Goa and Portugal, has won Hussain several accolades. In February 2020, the O Pedro team led by Chef Hussain took to New York City, Goa’s unique cuisine peppered with its Portuguese influences, with the fourth restaurant-in-residence program at Intersect by Lexus. After serving as Executive Chef O Pedro successfully for four years, he moved into the role of Executive Chef, Hunger Inc to oversee both The Bombay Canteen and O Pedro.

Blending traditions, techniques and flavors is what Hussain imbibed from his mentor – the late Chef Floyd Cardoz. There is more that left a lasting impression on him – a deep desire to mentor a new generation of chefs, imparting knowledge on how errors bring the opportunity to enhance skills, using heirloom recipes and reimagining them on a plate and digging deeper, as opposed to looking wider. Hussain’s food philosophy is simple – showcase local produce using contemporary culinary techniques that inspire future generations of chefs to cook smarter. He constantly strives to explore seasonal ingredients and extract the best possible flavors and marry them with technique to present quirk and mischief on a plate. Outside of the kitchen, Hussain enjoys making cocktails and nothing gives his creative culinary talent greater fuel than long runs along Mumbai’s seacoast.

- “I want to see every guest excited about the food they eat. I am committed to continuously create and innovate – to make food the hero of the restaurant experience.”

Sopa de Maní (peanut soup from the Bolivian Andean valleys)

The Story Behind the Dish

Sopa de maní might be the most popular Bolivian dish among the country locals in all its corners. Said to have been inspired on French dishes like "Cassoulet" and all the different varieties of French potages, Sopa de maní (or peanut soup) is a colonial adaptation of French techniques to local ingredients like potatoes and peanuts (which according to recent investigation come originally from the Andean valleys of Bolivia). This is a rich dish that can be eaten as a first course or as a unique dish because of its richness and the diversity of ingredients that compose it. Always accompanied by parsley and the omnipresent "Llajua" sauce, made from fresh Locoto (ají), tomatoes, and local Huacataya or Quirquiña herbs, Sopa de maní varies in its composition from one place to another in Bolivia, while in the valleys ají is one of the ingredients that are used in the soup, which at the same time has a thicker texture than its other versions, in the Andes region llama meat can make an appearance within the elements used to prepare it. No matter which version, Sopa de maní can be found anywhere in the country, it's widely consumed and extremely popular.

What you’ll need!

For the soup.
- 100 gr of raw peanuts (grounded in a mixer with the same amount of water until obtaining a creamy texture)
- 1 lt. vegetable stock
- 1 lt.  of water
- 1 big onion
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 carrots (cubed or grated)

- 1 celery branch (minced)
- 100 gr of peas
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and cut in sticks)
- ½ teaspoon ground Curcuma
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 100 gr quinoa (can be replaced with macaroni pasta or rice) 

- fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper

For the Llajua (spicy sauce).
- 1 big red locoto (it can be replaced by any fresh red spicy pepper-like habanero or Padron peppers).
- 1 Big tomato
- Huacataya or Quirquiña (they can be replaced by mint).


EQUIPMENT
- A medium or large saucepan
- Bowls (2-3)
- A mixer
- An oven tray
- Knives


About Ariane Jauregui Muñoz

I'm Ariane Jauregui Muñoz, I was born and raised in La Paz, Bolivia, my family was from both the high and lowlands of my country and I grew up connected to the gastronomy of the amazon and valleys, deeply in love with the flavors of both. I went deeper into the Andean flavors of my country while studying gastronomy and culinary arts. It was there and then where I also became conscientious about my passion for food and everything about it; its history, science, cultural implications, and the enormous power that food has to bring people together. I worked in different types of kitchens, from big restaurants to event catering and collective kitchens to try and experiment with as many cooking contexts as possible. I came to France three years ago with that same motivation, that of exploration and discovery, and have been confronted with some different ways of cooking and eating, some of which resonate with me and some others that don't as much. It was with the pandemic (like most) that I started questioning my place in the food world and started getting engaged with the conscious eating movement, first at home, and then opening to meeting people with similar values and visions. My whole path took me to start studying to become a food educator. I graduated and had some experiences in pedagogical restaurants and proposing workshops integrating notions of food identity, conscious cooking, and eating, always having in mind the connections to food and others. I want to share everything that I have learned about food throughout these years, my culture, and my passion while keeping on learning from people, places, and experiences. I believe that food identity is our best passport to present ourselves to the world.
