chile en nogada with MARTAJA & kindred

Commemorate Mexican independence like thousands of families across the country with a delicious chile en nogada.

In this hands-on cooking class and dinner exclusively reserved for Kindred members and their guests, we'll prepare Mexico's most patriotic dish - poblano peppers stuffed with a sweet and savory filling, served in a rich walnut and goat's cheese sauce and decorated with pomegranate seeds. Char chiles, grind spices, toast nuts and transform fresh ingredients into this iconic seasonal favorite before enjoying the fruits of your labor with a glass of Mexican red wine.

A recipe this special calls for a space that's just as unique. Martaja Agave is a former neighbourhood butcher's shop in historic Colonia Guerrero, lovingly converted by meatmonger's son and local tequila aficionado Mickey Marentes into an educational agave spirits tasting room. Combining original architectural details with Mickey's remarkable collection of agave-spirit memorabilia, the extraordinary venue honours both local history and Mexico's tequila and mezcal heritage. There's no better place to celebrate the most Mexican of national holidays.
