Join Yelp Indy and Apricot Sun as we make the best dinner you’ve had all week: Mediterranean spaghetti and meatballs.

————————————————————————————————–

THE CLASS:

Known for her all-natural, flavorful recipes (sauces, spices, meals, etc) passed down by generations, Apricot Sun owner, Marlen, will teach us how to make mediterranean meatballs from home. What makes them mediterranean you ask? Their special Zaatar spread! It’s a mix of spices commonly used in Mediterranean dishes and is becoming increasingly popular as of late. We recommend that you cook alongside us at home (for the maximum fun!), but you are also welcome to tune in if you simply want to learn. This event is open to anyone. Each person 18+ must RSVP individually: https://www.yelp.com/events/carmel-yelps-mediterranean-meatballs-with-apricot-sun

BRING TO THE CLASS:

You will need the below ingredients to make the meal, and they’re simple! If you’ve never tried Zaatar before, it’s essentially a blend of middle eastern spices that are often used to top off hummus, as a rub for meat, mixed with olive oil, etc. Zaatar will be the primary source of flavor in our meatballs and has become very trendy with chefs. You can order off of their website (order by Tuesday, June 16th), pick up from the Broad Ripple or Carmel farmers markets, or pick up from any of these local stores: https://apricotsunfoodbar.com/zaatar-dip-spread-cook/
