Mezze Table

Buy Generic Xanax From Canada (The 2010 February Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Michele of Veggie Num Nums. Michele chose to challenge everyone to make mezze based on various recipes from Claudia Roden, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Dugid.)

https://mmopage.com/news/0gf4g4dvq What ever language you may say this word in, “mezze”, tapas, muqabbilat, dim sum, hor d oeuvres, apps, we are talking about small portions of food eaten before a meal or in place of a meal.  Mezze is a selection of Greek and middle-eastern small dishes served in “mezze” portions (like tapas.) Typically a mezze might include things like hummus, baba ganoush, pita, olives, dolmas, maybe some grilled vegetables or a kabob. A mezze table would have several small dishes served all at once. If you love grazing at parties, you will love this style of eating. All kinds of things to nibble on. Try this for your next party, or any get together with friends. Everything can be made in advance, making the party an easy one to put together. All you need to do is open your wine, beer or whatever beverage and enjoy.

My menu for my messe table:

Pita Bread
Hummus
Bacon Wrapped Dates with Blue Cheese
Eggplant Caponata
Spanakopita
Tagine Spiced Grilled Quail
Israeli Cous Cous (I bought this ready made)
Herbed New Potatoes
Chocolava

 I love little dishes of foods. Seeing them always reminds of being a kid and putting food in our little plastic play dishes and hooking up our bottled coke to a little toy coke dispenser. My sister (twin) and I use to play restaurant. That’s so fitting since both of us have always loved cooking. We had our own little order pads that we got from our local Ben Franklin 5 and 10 cent store.  Can you imagine getting anything for 5 cents these days. That doesn’t even pay the tax. This is the same store we use to buy our painted (live) little chickens at Easter. Couldn’t do that anymore, could we?

We were required for the challenge to make homemade pita bread and hummus and the other things I threw together. Hopefully our friends enjoyed these as much as we did and they were fun to make. I’ve done naan and focaccia bread before but have never tried pita, so this is a first for me.  The pita was fun to make and watch puff up in balloons. I will post this recipe soon.

https://masterfacilitator.com/566602ee I’ve been making this Chocolava recipe since the 70’s and it is so delicious. I will post this recipe in a few days.

https://sieterevueltas.net/j2qj1s9a3 So without further ado, here is my Mezze selection. I make the required pita bread and hummus but chose some other recipes I have been making for years for the other bites of food.
