At the June meeting of The Grumpy Old Men, John came suitably attired.
Colin was host this month and chose Al-Farid Moroccan restaurant. I had Mashvoi as my starter which the menu lists as Roast bell peppers, onions, garlic, coriander and olive oil. Served with Al-Farid crackers.
What came (above) wasn’t what I expected, but it was jolly tasty.
The main course was Addas Badijam Oven roasted Aubergine stuffed with lentils and Persian jewelled rice slow cooked in a tomato sauce. Served with a side salad.
It comes in a tajine which, when the top is whipped off, releases a smoke signal of steam.
I had a Moroccan wine, of course.
2019 Les Celliers de Meknes Zniber Domaine Riad Jamil (Morocco, Meknès-Fès, Beni M’Tir)
The back label in French says that it’s old vine Carignan, whole berry fermented and aged in French oak barrels, and it was lovely drinking.
