Festive Mediterranean Mezze Charcuterie Board!

The word “Mezze” refers to what we all know as finger foods and dips. Many Mediterranean meals consist of a variety of  “mezze” items that come together creating the most wonderful flavors, tastes and textures. Learn how to bring warmth, color,  and the flavors of the Mediterranean to your fall and winter gatherings with this festive Mediterranean mezze cook-along class  where Chef Tess (a descendant of Spartans) will guide you through creating a stunning mezze-style charcuterie board,  perfect for sharing or seasonal entertaining any time of year.  

The mezze-style charcuterie board will include four delicious scratch-made dips, warm-spiced, bright Greek meatballs, and  handmade pita bread. Mezze boards / platters will be rounded out with an array of fresh and pickled vegetables, olives, fruit and nuts for a vibrant crowd—pleasing spread! The board, platter, or table becomes the canvas upon which we create an  edible work of art!  

Cook-Along mezze items: Silky whipped feta & tzatziki dips, Greek Meatballs, homemade pita bread Mezze items to be demonstrated: Muhamarra (a smoky red pepper dip), Greek hummus and time permitting, some crispy,  Greek sesame bread sticks. The demonstration will also include how to build the board balancing the colors, textures and  flavors, and how to build interest and visual appeal with using height and practical items found in every kitchen. 

This experience is all about bold delicious flavors, beautiful presentations, and the joy of gathering around food— Mediterranean style.  

Equipment: A food processor or blender is needed for the creation of the Whipped feta. Stand mixer  recommended for the pita bread.
