Description
Looking to spice up your evening and learn the secrets of a Mesopotamia’s dish?
Join us at BeetCommunity Agrigento for a hands-on culinary journey led by Bahar Jasim. Bahar is founder and chef of Babilonia Eats, the first Iraqi restaurant right here in Palermo and a long-time supporter and friend of BeetCommunity.
Through these incredible flavours, Bahar channels his passion of cooking into sharing the deep history, rich culture, and genuine hospitality of Iraq.
In this interactive workshop, you won’t just eat; you’ll learn the art of the Dolma.
What is Dolma?
Dolma is the crown jewel of Iraqi hospitality, traditionally crafted for lively family gatherings and celebrations. It’s a beautiful, fragrant dish made of vegetables, including grape leaves. Each of them is carefully stuffed with a perfectly seasoned mixture of rice, herbs, and spices, then slow-cooked to perfection. Every family has its secret recipe, and Bahar is sharing his with us! This workshop is entirely vegan-friendly!
