Join our partners at City Market and instructor Anna Mays to celebrate the flavors of summer with Middle Eastern street food in this outdoor class at the Intervale. In this class, we will learn about street foods popular across the Middle East and the important socio-economic role these foods have historically played for vendors, consumers, and local food producers. Together, we will learn to make marinated beef kebabs and discuss their Turkish origins and popular marinades, acidifiers and spice variations from Lebanon to Oman. We will learn to make the Levantine flatbread Manakeesh with Akkawi, perfect for eating with dips and meat. Participants will also have a chance to roll their own stuffed grape leaves, using a vegetarian summer filling of rice, fresh herbs, pine nuts and black currants.

Class will be held outdoors, and attendees must wear close-toed shoes.

Thank you to our sponsors City Market and Gardener’s Supply Company for making Intervale Center events possible!
