Creativity rules! These ladies pulled out all stops for this meeting and we really got to see the culinary skills.
First up is Aisha, she brought a Vegetable Lasagna that we all loved. Fatma made a delightful Beef Biriyani from her home country, Khadija M, went Asian on us and made a bowl of Udon Soup. Naadira made a wonderful Curried Shrimp & Brown Rice entree. Nafisa loves to make Iranian food, so she surprised us with a wonderfularrangement of Iranian Styled Turkey Patties & Bread with Cucumber and Sour Cream. Safa B. made Quesidillas that blew me away! Safa S. made Pesto stuffed Chicken Breasts, yum. Last but certainly not least was Sharria's Jamaican Beef Patties. There is no word to really explain the flavor or texture, my lexicon only allows for AWESOME! Faizah made Black Bean Smothered Chicken with Rice.
This meeting was full of favorites for me. I loved the Udon Soup, the pesto stuffed chicken, beef patties...well everything! Faizah's Black Bean Smothered Chicken left a lasting impression. I want to make it soooo bad but worry that it won't come out as good as the original lol! The Quesidillas that I made was my first major dish that significantly featured cilantro...a theme we will explore later.
