What you'll learn
The course opens with a bean soup, prepared with an ingredient of excellence, the “Caricos”, a particular variety of red beans, typical of Cantabria.
The chef prepares a unique salad with cooked vegetables that are roasted using a particular cooking process, employing the microwave to generate a vacuum-packing effect. This process allows vegetables to cook to perfection while minimizing flavor dispersion.
In a cuisine always oriented to enhance local elements, Jesús Sánchez chooses to combine the mussels with a typical blue cheese from Cantabria, the ‘Picòn Berjes-Tresviso’.
One of the most recognized features of cooking and tasting an egg is the contrast between a solid layer of white and the liquid part of the yolk. We reproduce it within a timbale, with beaten egg white stabilized with tapioca and albumen, and yolk in the center. The meal is served with a “stew” of fish tripe that is made with water from roasted peppers and a “straw” of potatoes to provide crispness.
You will learn how to prepare an ideal sauce to accompany a mackerel. We are going to teach you the technique for cleaning and cutting a tomato, which serves as the base for this warm vinaigrette, while contrasting salty and acidic elements, such as white soy sauce and sherry vinegar.
Quesada Pasiega is a dish that was created “out of necessity”. The chef’s version is as faithful as possible to the original and is made with a typical cheese from Cantabria, the ‘Queso Pasiego’; it is processed by hand, so to appreciate the texture of the cheese.
