Tastes and flavors of the Mediterranean

Tastes and flavors of the Mediterranean are my absolute favorite cuisine of any kind!

The exotic ingredients and spices come together in such a harmonious manner that it is surprising that we don't eat this food weekly. Our headliner will be the felafel. If you have never had it, it tastes like a crispy savory fritter, almost like a cornbread hush puppy except these are made with chick peas.

We will be making soft naan bread from scratch which will be the base for the entree of a falafel wrap filled with falafel (picture them as meatless meatballs), tzatziki cucumber yogurt lemon garlic dill sauce, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, red onion (we will do a quick pickle for the onions!), and we can even add some kalamata olives/feta cheese/sweet pickled beets....and we will also be making the best hummus from scratch, and that can get added too!

We will also use the hummus to make my favorite appetizer of the moment which is Greek layer dip...you are going to love that recipe and people have mostly not seen it before, boy is it good! For another fresh side, we will make Persian salad which will become one of your go to fresh healthy recipes.

This class is for people trying to eat less meat, people who love mediterranean flavors, or people just trying to eat healthier. In culinary school, Mediterranean week was my favorite, and the felafel that we made was lightly salted and placed on a plate for family meal. Except those did not make it to family meal. That only happened twice that I remember (the other was the pasta carbonara). Sometimes something is so good, that waiting is not an option.
