MOROCCO
October 28, 2015
Reception begins at 6:30 pm
From charbroiled meats and fish with fragrant spice mixtures to fresh and tangy flavors like lemon juice, pomegranate, and sumac, Middle Eastern food is always colorful and vibrant. In this dinner we celebrate the Middle Eastern flavors of Lebanon and Morocco with dry and wet rubs, grilling and baking techniques, fresh tomatoes with tabbouleh, and all sorts of nuts, fruits, and a yogurt mousse. Each dish is paired with a wine that not only stands up on its own but enhances the flavor of each element of the dish from the pickled turnips to cooling mint and sweet ginger syrup.
