I’m glad to be back at the Gilmore Park Church Community Kitchen since the schedule change. This kitchen clashes with the South Arm Seniors Kitchen. I can only make myself available to one. With the South Arm Seniors Kitchen done for the season, I can now attend this kitchen and meet the participants here that I have not seen for a while.
Minoo prepared three recipes for this kitchen; i.e. an Orzo Salad, Crab Puff and a Creamy Rhubarb Dessert. Rhubarb is in season in June.
The first recipe is the Orzo Salad. Orzo is a pasta which resembles rice grain. The Orzo Salad is refreshing and filing. Great for a light lunch.
