Community Dinners

The elementary school where my daughter attends has an annual Community Dinner, which I always find a lot of fun.  We sign up every year to host a vegetarian dinner.  Appetizers happen at three different homes. . . . . usually with parents in the same grade.  Then we each get an envelope and we are off to dinner.  A mystery of where and with who.

This year we hosted one of the kindergarten teachers, one of the first grade teachers and two couples who each had kindergartners.

What did I serve for dinner????

Two homemade challahs;
Persian Red Pepper Dip (from the cookbook The Persian Cookbook from the Non-Persian Wife);
Carrot Puree and Egyptian Spice Mix with Nuts and Olive Oil (from the Oleana cookbook);
Chickpea salad (from the cookbook The Persian Cookbook from the Non-Persian Wife);
Persian Rice with Tahdig (potato) (From the Temple Emanuel Sisterhood Cookbook); and
Roasted squash and red onion with tahini sauce and zatar (from the Jerusalem cookbook).

We had a great time, and then we were off to the dessert house.  Next year will be my last year attending this great event.
