Soomaaliya

April 14 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm PDT

Then, on April 14 we’re hosting Somali-American chef and writer Ifrah F. Ahmed to celebrate the release of her new cookbook: Soomaaliya. In her debut cookbook, New York Times Cooking contributor Ifrah F. Ahmed tells the story of her country through its history, its food, and its people.  Ifrah will join the Pantry team to enjoy some of her favorite dishes from the book. Pricing includes a wine pairing with each savory course, Somali tea with dessert, and a copy of Soomaaliya. The menu:

Soomaaliya

Spiced Beef sambuus (dumplings) with basbaas (green garlic hot sauce)

Little gem salad with radishes, tomato, and tamarind-date dressing

Mallaay qumbe (coconut fish curry) with coconut milk and xawaash, a 7-spice mix

Bariis (Somali-style rice pilaf with cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin)

Doolsho timir (date and cardamom cake)
