Start the new year with a vibrant, sun-drenched Mediterranean spread that balances big, bold spices with fresh herbs and wholesome ingredients. Searing fish to flaky perfection with a spiced crust while keeping the interior succulent can challenge any home cook. Join Chef Za for a hands-on exploration of the coastal Mediterranean kitchen, where color, acidity, and aromatic heat take center stage.

Throughout the evening, you will master the art of high-heat protein searing without sticking, emulsifying cool yogurt- and tahini-based dips, and properly fluffing and seasoning grains with fresh herbs. You'll also learn the technique behind quick-pickling crisp red onions and rolling, griddling, and blistering fresh flatbreads to serve straight from the flame.

What's on the Menu:

Harissa Seared Salmon: Tender, succulent salmon fillets coated in smoky, fragrant North African harissa paste and seared to develop a crisp, spiced crust.

Light Herbed Pearl Couscous: Fluffy, tender grains tossed with extra virgin olive oil, toasted pine nuts, fresh parsley, and mint.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: Silky smooth whipped chickpeas blended with smoky charred red peppers, nutty tahini, fresh lemon, and garlic.

Cool Cucumber-Dill Tzatziki: Crisp grated cucumber strained and folded into thick Greek yogurt with fresh dill, minced garlic, and bright lemon zest.

Fresh Warm Griddled Flatbread: Pillowy and charred. Scratch flatbread dough griddled on cast iron and brushed with olive oil and sea salt.

Bright Tomato Cucumber Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette & Quick-Pickled Onions: Crisp English cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, and sharp sumac-pickled red onions tossed in an invigorating orange-lemon dressing.

Gather around the communal table to tear warm flatbread, dip into fresh meze, and savor this nourishing Mediterranean feast.
