An Algerian Feast!

I do not get to cook as often as I like so when I do, I want it to be special for our dinners and educational for our students. 

I cook a lot of Creole food, will I do describe myself as a Creole Cook, so that is to be expected. I enjoy cooking French Food and dishes from former French Colonies. 

This Wedsday we cooked three Algerian Recipies:

Chicken Kofta

     ground Chicken with Preserved           Lemons, salted herbs and Algerian Spices. 

Hmissa Bol Dersa 

     chick peas stewed in a red pepper sauce 

Saffron Couscous

     Cooked with house made Chicken Stock. Chopped dates. Cured Lemon and saffron.

House Made Flat Bread

I wrote out detailed instructions for the students and gave a little talk on Algerian Food. I gave a brief demo. 

Three teams took on the recipes and made a remarkable meal!

Now the next step was introducing Algerian Cuisine to our diners. 

They loved the dinner!
