About this event

Pita bread may be easy to find in most grocery stores now, but it hasn’t always been that way. Pita, or khobz arabi, only became commonplace in the U.S. in the last couple decades. But don’t let the ease of store-bought pita tempt you: nothing can compete with the homemade stuff. Join Reem Assil, a Palestinian-Syrian chef and founder of the celebrated restaurant Reem’s California, for a class where you’ll start by learning to make pita breads from scratch. We promise that with Reem’s guidance, you’ll get that characteristic puff! Pita bread alone doesn’t make a meal, though, so you’ll also learn to make two dips commonly served as part of a Levantine meze spread. We’ll start with baba ghanouj, which balances smoky eggplant with tart pomegranate molasses and tomatoes. Then, it’s time to harness the power of seasonal produce and make a bright green mutabal. Combining nutty tahini, mineraly Swiss chard, garlic and lemon, this is a dip that just might become your whole dinner. As we cook, Reem will share stories about learning to make pita alongside her mother and tips on how to freeze leftovers—if there are any.

onus: All attendees of this class will receive a one-time 15% off coupon to the Milk Street Store after class.
