Middle Eastern Small Plates

The tradition of small plates is found all through the Mediterranean and Middle East. In Spain it's tapas, but in the Middle East, it's mezze. Mezze is made up of small dishes, hot or cold, spicy or savory, and can include dishes as wide ranging as grilled seafood, to fresh cheeses, to fried meats, to vegetable salads, to whole roasted small birds. In this class we'll prepare some of the most popular and flavorful of the traditional mezze.
