WAPSIE VALLEY CORN TORTILLA & WHISKEY NIGHT
Thursday, August 22
7:00 - 9:00pm, $30 per person
Noticing that Widow Jane is all about organic heirloom corn and natural limestone water, Cacao Prieto Assistant Chocolatier Hector Hernandez conceived of a tortilla tasting event. Nixtamalization, the process used, is of Nahuatl origin in which the corn is cooked and steeped in limestone water. The steeping liquid, known as nejayote, is drained and the remainder of the corn is washed in order to remove the skin and excess limestone water. Nixtamal is then ground to produce a dough also known as masa. Tortillas will be paired with cactus salad, huarache del mercado, carnitas tacos, nacho libre, guacamole, salsa verde, and home made mole poblano using Cacao Prieto organic Dominican chocolate. Nat Sherman cigars will be available.
