Learn the art of preserving your peppers.
You will start your time with Audrey, Marta and Hayley together in the Wild Moon gardens, taking a garden tour. Experience the summer bounty the gardens provide and harvest fresh peppers and herbs with your own hands.
Chiles en escabeche is a Spanish term meaning “food in vinegar” that can be traced back to Muslim and Persian origins. Eventually the use of the phrase spread to Latin America.
Marta and Hayley's take on chiles en escabeche involves lightly sautéing hot peppers alongside herbs, spices and veggies to bring out the flavors before submerging them in a home brewed vinegar.
You will enjoy an up close immersive experience and demonstration as Marta and Hayley take you through their process of making this delicious and health-promoting way of preserving the garden harvest.
Enjoy a tasting, featuring homemade bread and local goat cheese.
You will go home having learned a vital food preservation technique and having connected with community.
We will send you home with your own jar of chiles en escabeche and fresh peppers from the Wild Moon gardens.
