Hey Kids,
The holidays are finally over and old man winter is being his disagreeable-old-bastard self again. I can think of no better time than now to eat food that reminds us that the sun does actually exist and may decide to grace our fair city again someday. While I had a lot of options to choose from, I decided on Moroccan cuisine. Why? I can’t really say. The amount I know about Morocco can be summed up in less sentences than I’ve already forced you to read. However, I do know their food is full of delicious spices combined perfectly to make you forget any amount of bleakness. This week we have a variety of dishes, about half of which are eaten in Morocco during Ramadan to break one’s fast. If I were starving all day and had one meal to look forward to, harira would definitely be at or near the top of my list.
Anyway!
When: This Wednesday, January 14th. Cooking starts at 6:30. Food ready by 7:30.
What: Chicken Tagine, Lamb Harira, Couscous Shepherd’s Pie, Almond Paste Stuffed Dates and Moroccan Mint Tea
Despite the fact that we’ll be serving tea, you should still bring whatever else you’d like to drink. Tea is great and all, but the ABV on it is pretty low (unless you compare it to wide distribution American lagers). So come, shake the snow off your boots and shake the hunger out of your guts. It’s time eat.
