A Cooking Demonstration, Tasting, and Talk About Spanish Anchovies and Boquerones

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

Discover the versatility of Spanish anchovies with Zhana and Marco Londoner, the expert husband and wife team from Mercado Central NYC. This umami-packed experience will feature a tasting of several anchovy-forward dishes such as gildas, the iconic Spanish pintxo. Zhana and Marco will demonstrate their version of a matrimonio, a classic Spanish dish that showcases both dark anchovies and boquerones – their white, vinegar-marinated counterpart. In addition to eating and drinking a variety of Spanish wines, you’ll gain insights on sourcing, sustainability, and preparation techniques. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your palate and deepen your appreciation for one of the ocean's most underrated treasures.
