Shabbat Dinner

Friday Ashley and I made the most amazing dinner and invited a bunch of the boys over.
The menu:
Bruschetta 1: Crusted baguette, topped with fresh goat cheese spread and sauteed red and yellow peppers.
Bruschetta 2: Tomatoes, garlic, fresh oregano, sweet basil, feta goat cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Topped on lightly fried baguette.
Cinnamon rice: Jasmine rice boiled in fresh sticks of cinnamon spice.
Potatoes: Seasoned with Zatar spice (purchased in the outdoor market of Jerusalem) and cooked in oil.
Let me tell you, it was good. Like, massively. Uncle Mark, I appear to have picked up on some of your glorious skill.

  2. Do you have to have jasmine rice for the cinnamon rice ? I normally use brown rice for everything. Uncle Al

  3. Thank you for the "de jure." Whoops!
    The brown rice would work, though it has a bit of a stronger flavor than white rice and won't hold the flavor of the cinnamon as well. Most important is that you use actual sticks rather than ground spice.
