Festive Mediterranean Mezze Charcuterie Board - Online
The word “Mezze” refers to what we all know as finger foods and dips. Many Mediterranean meals consist of a variety of “mezze” items that come together creating the most wonderful flavors, tastes and textures.
The mezze-style charcuterie board will include four delicious scratch-made dips, warm-spiced, bright Greek meatballs, and handmade pita bread. Mezze boards / platters will be rounded out with an array of fresh and pickled vegetables, olives, fruit and nuts for a vibrant crowd—pleasing spread! The board, platter, or table becomes the canvas upon which we create an edible work of art!
Cook-Along mezze items: Silky whipped feta & tzatziki dips, Greek Meatballs, homemade pita bread
Mezze items to be demonstrated: Muhamarra (a smoky red pepper dip), Greek hummus and time permitting, some crispy, Greek sesame bread sticks. The demonstration will also include how to build the board balancing the colors, textures and flavors, and how to build interest and visual appeal with using height and practical items found in every kitchen.
Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class to allow time for shopping. Have your questions answered by the instructor and interact with other participants as you cook-along. While cooking along is loads of fun, it is optional. Participants will also receive a copy of the instructor’s personal recipes in PDF format following the class. This class will take place on Zoom.
