Somali Flavors at Ward 5 NPA's Free Community Dinner

Nov 21, 2024, 6:30 PM

We are excited to be featuring our neighbor Ahado Adan's home-cooked Somali dishes on the menu for this month's Ward 5 NPA's FREE Community Dinner! Ahado participates in the People's Kitchen project's food distribution at South Meadow which has been running weekly since 2020. In true mutual aid fashion, this month she will be sharing with us some of her own home cooked specialties.

People's Kitchen volunteers will be serving "Digaag foornada lagu dubay" (chicken marinated in herbs and spices, roasted to perfection), and "bariis iyo khudaar" (rice with herbed oven-roasted veggies). Also on the menu will be "Lodeh Soup" (vegan chowder in mildly spiced, coconut milk based broth), vegetarian egg rolls, and local organic salad greens from our sister project, the People's Farmstand. For dessert we'll serve sweet bread pecan casserole with maple syrup.

Everyone is invited! Gluten-free and vegan options available, all food is Halal. Thursday's community dinner at DPW Building (645 Pine St) will be served before and through the Ward 5 Neighborhood Planning Assembly, starting at 6:30pm. We hope to see you there!
