A hands-on slow food workshop exploring traditional citrus preservation, complete with aged citrus tasting
RSVP Eventbrite Tickets
Explore the theme of slow food as you create simple ingredients featured in the book 'When You Slow Down. Through this hands-on experience, you'll discover how a single, humble ingredient can hold deep-rooted stories and traditions—and bring home two citrus treasures to enjoy.
Learn a rare fermentation technique that transforms citrus into deeply flavored, umami-rich treasures and complete with a tasting of the aged citrus paired with cheeses for a delicate, layered flavor experience. 🍊🧀
What You Will Make
In this workshop, we will explore Japan's traditional slow pickling through the making of a citrus miso-stuffed pickle—a small taste of patience. This method, similar to the concept of Yubeshi (柚餅子), takes time to miso-cure; through that waiting, deep layers of umami slowly develop.
Workshop Flow
Taste: You'll have a chance to taste a small piece of the already-aged citrus miso pickle during the workshop.
Make: Then, it's your turn! You will prepare your own citrus to begin the curing process. (**stuffing ingridents: organic white & red miso, dried dates, figs, and walnuts)
Wait: You'll take your finished Citrus Miso Stuffing home, where you'll make a note to wait before you slice and savor it later, allowing it to slowly mature (about 5-6 weeks, but it could be longer)
(Note: Yubeshi (ゆべし / 柚餅子) is a traditional Japanese yuzu confectionery that can be found in both savory and sweet forms.)
Enjoy complimentary sips and bites during the holiday workshops!
