Foodies to learn tricks of the trade from pickling master.
At Meatstock, attendees need only look for the neon pickle to find the McClure’s Pickle Bar, where they’ll be able to enjoy an array of pickle-inspired dishes courtesy of the talented team from Burger Burger.
The treats on offer will include deep fried spicy pickle bites and deep fried garlic and dill pickle spears as well as an extra-special treat for those pickle fans who also have a sweet tooth – Duck Island McClure’s Pickle Shakin’ shakes and ice creams.
Farro Masterclass attendees will get to hear the story of how the McClure’s took a beloved family recipe and turned it into a multi-million dollar business that produces two million jars of hand-picked pickles from their Detroit factory each year. They’ll also get some ‘pickling 101’ tips from one of the best in the business, before pickling their own jar of pickles.
McClure says he can’t wait to return to Auckland next month.
“I’m really looking forward to escaping the cold in Detroit, coming back to New Zealand and being part of Meatstock – I was at the event in 2018 and it was epic.
“I’m also looking forward to my first public pickling masterclass in this part of the world. I’ve found Kiwis are as passionate about pickles as we are in the US, so I’m hoping to do more around the country on future trips.”
Meatstock is on from 15-16 February, with the McClure’s pickling masterclass taking place at Farro Fresh Grey Lynn on 17 February from 7:15pm - 9pm.
