Welcome to our new customers and welcome back to our loyal supporters! Newcomer Kitchen has been taking a break from cooking in the kitchen over these last few months but we have been busy behind the scenes (mostly on Zoom!) teaching a new cohort of newcomer women how to start their own food businesses! As their training semester comes to a close they are super excited to offer you a March Madness Syrian Supper. As usual, all of the proceeds of this dinner go directly to this team of 6 women called The Syrian Sisters. They have curated a menu full of their family favorites, comfort food at its coziest, to share with your family.

Thank you to everyone during these difficult times for keeping the faith with Newcomer Kitchen and thank you to all the newcomer women trainees who held in through months of zoom classes and learning about spreadsheets on the tiny screen when all they really wanted to do was COOK!! We will get through this together.

March Madness Syrian Supper Menu

Muhumera Dip & Seasoned Pita Chips

Muhumera is rosy red dip made of roasted red peppers, ground walnuts, sesame seeds and tiny black nigella seeds. It’s addictive. Served with freshly baked pita chips lightly seasoned with Z’ataar.

Bourek (Cheese Rolls)

Bourek are a kind of middle eastern spring roll. This version is filled with a rich and creamy ricotta and mozzarella cheese.

Jargeer Salata (Arugula Salad)

A simple refreshing salad of tossed baby arugula greens with slivered red onions, studded with fresh pomegranate seeds and dressed with an olive oil vinaigrette.

Kabob Hindi (Meat Option)

A family favorite in the Middle East, these halal beef meatballs are seasoned with eastern spices and simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce. Served with a bed of Roz al Sharia, a yummy combo of white calrose rice studded with tiny flecks of vermicelli pasta toasted to a golden red hue.

Baked Kibbeh (Vegetarian Option)

Baked Kibbeh is a savory layered pie composed of cracked wheat (bulgar) and potato dough filled with squash and chickpeas. This is a Syrian classic, comforting and mellow. Each cook has her own special designs that are scored on the top layer and ‘decorated’ with nuts for added flavor and nutrition.

Baklava Libya

Intricate ruffles of phyllo pastry are baked in a syrup of milk and orange water. This lesser known baklava is light, delicate and delicious and a marvel of pastry artistry.
