Throughout the Middle East, meze are a common way to start a meal. Like Spain’s tapas, enjoying meze involves sharing many small plates of food with friends and family for a sampling of all kinds of flavors and ingredients. The point of eating this way is to make the experience at the table last as long as possible, allowing time to sip and share thoughts. Spice and herb combinations are the secret to giving these little dishes their big flavors without making them heavy. Chef de Cuisine Pri Paige will demonstrate how to make: Gigante beans with green olives, beet muhammara, and beef kofte with cacik sauce.
