9.45am – 3.30pm
The Middle East is a group of countries that range through from North Africa to large areas of Asia. Hundreds of years of travel by traders through the region has meant that there are similarities between some of the dishes. However although they may have similar names they can taste quite different because the ingredients vary throughout the region. Middle Eastern food today is defined by its past.
We will be cooking recipes from Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Iran among others.
Recipes that may be covered on the day include:
Demonstration
Fruit Salad with Orange, Honey and Orange Blossom Water from Morocco
Fattoush (Palestinian bread salad with sumac dressing)
Cooking session
Lamb Kofta with Tomato sauce
Middle Eastern Flatbreads with Garlic and Za’atar
Muhammara (Red Pepper and Walnut dip)
Moutabal (Grilled, blackened Aubergine and Tahini Dip)
Cacik (Turkish yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dill dip)
