Persian Dinner
On Saturday, February 23, 2008, Gene and Janice hosted a Persian Dinner
in their home.
Thirty hungry and thirsty friends arrived to partake!
The recipes have been handed down, in Janices family, for many years.
It was a lot
of fun to try foods we all knew, prepared in a different way.
As usual, the wine flowed freely and a great time was had by all!
The first of the wines arrive
Appetizers included radishes and a fabulous Kidney Bean Pate'
Hummus with Ground Beef Filling
Cucumbers accompanied the appetizers
A close-up of the Pate
Bread and Crackers
Roger and Linda brought flowers
The dining room table is ready
Steve and Donna arrive and grab a glass
Everyone is having a great time
More pre-dinner tasting
The main dishes cook on the stove
A salad made with tomatoes, diced cucumber and onions
Capon Salad with Pistachios
This dish was made with rice, lentils, chicken, onions, dates and golden raisins
A view down the buffet
This dish was made with tenderloin of beef, green beans and tomatoes served over rice
A fabulous Persian bread with a cheese-egg filling and topped with sesame seeds
A filled dinner plate
Janice and Gene tell us about the meal we are enjoying.
All of the recipes are from Janice's family.
Steve describes dinner to Lis
Doug, Chuck, John and Linda enjoy the meal
Janice and Lis chat by the fire
One of the bistro tables set up in the living room
Janice made a date filled dessert, much like Baklava, topped with pistachios
A fabulous XO Rum
Doug enjoys some Remy Martin XO as Lis looks on
I loved the way this statue and flowers looked
A bowl of fun trinkets
