They are held on the first Monday of every month, 5:30 to 7pm. This month June 4, 2018.

Monday night's menu is stuffed grape leaves, lamb and lentil meatballs with yogurt sauce (and a vegetarian version, of course), radishes with dukkah, green salad, and apple-walnut phyllo rolls.

Patty Pan's Neighborhood Kitchen: 15550 27th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.

The dinners are a flat rate of $12/person (plus tax). For $10 (plus tax) discounted tickets if you prepay via PayPal by 4pm on the day of the dinner. Kids half price.

Here's a recipe from Monday's feast.

Radishes with Dukkah (makes 4 servings)

Dukkah is an Egyptian condiment that lends itself to plenty of variety. You can use any kinds of nuts or seeds, and also a variety of spices. It's perfect on spring radishes, or cucumbers, or lentils, or just about anything

1/4 cup finely chopped nuts and/or seeds (Make sure to include some sesame seeds: they’re traditional.)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: small amounts of crushed red pepper, cayenne, or paprika.
1 bunch radishes, sliced

Combine the nuts or seeds with the spices and chop in a food processor to a coarse powder. Sprinkle on the sliced radishes.
