Tunisian Feast

November 20, 2021 0 Comments

Join us on December 11th for a delicious Tunisian Feast, prepared by Chef Ghazi for the benefit of the Central Vermont Refugee Action Network (CVRAN). The feast will be take-out and distributed at the side door of the Montpelier Senior Activity Center at 58 Barre Street in Montpelier. We ask you to make reservations in advance as described below and to let us know your preferred time for picking up your dinners. The dinner will include some of the finest Tunisian dishes.

Each dinner will include the following:

  • Couscous with lamb, chicken, or vegetables: Couscous is the signature dish of Tunisia. Steamed over a richly savory, mildly spicy sauce, Tunisian couscous is served with deliciously prepared meat or vegetables.
  • Tajine: The Tunisian take on a frittata, this delicious cheesy, veggie filled egg dish will delight your senses.
  • Tunisian Salad: A savory mixture of brightly colored fresh vegetables dressed in lemon vinaigrette and decorated with olives, capers and tuna.
  • Tunisian Bread: A lightly spiced braid of soft semolina bread, baked fresh with fennel, turmeric and black sesame, milk and olive oil. Crunchy on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside. A perfect compliment.
  • Dessert: You may choose between assida and baklava.
  • Assida: A delicacy like none other, savor this special hazelnut cream traditionally prepared for big celebrations.
  • Tunisian Baklava: The fine craftsmanship of this baklava will astound you…almonds are soaked to remove the skin, baked to release the flavors and then crushed by hand. The honey-soaked pastries speak for themselves.
