Greetings, all!

For the month of April, we're indulging in the unique dining experience of Ras Dashen! If you're unfamiliar with Ethiopian cuisine, you're in for a real treat!

Ethiopian food is traditionally served on large communal trays, sans utensils. In lieu of such, injera, a thin, spongy, and slightly tangy bread, is torn into pieces and used to scoop up comestibles from the trays. (We get to eat with our fingers... oh, boy!)

Our gathering will take place in a private room at the back of the restaurant and, served buffet-style, our meal will consist of the following:

Yeqaysur salata – Beet salad served chilled with a tangy dressing

Kik alicha – Yellow split peas cooked with onions, garlic, ginger, and green peppers

Tikil gomen alicha – Mildly spiced cabbage, potato, and carrot stew

Shirro - Spicy, pureed stew of ground chickpeas

Diblik atkilt – Green beans, potatoes, zucchini, and carrots stewed with tomatoes

Qosta – Spinach cooked with onions, garlic, and spices

Don't miss this opportunity to take your taste buds on an adventure they'll never forget!

Hope to see you there!

Debra, Dave, and the Vegan Chicago crew
