Dinner for 20
Boneless Leg of Lamb, pre-seasoned and ready to cook, Costco, about 6 lbs
Greens (hardly need any)
Basmati rice (cooked according to package directions)
Roasted vegetables, double recipe (https://www.spoonfulofflavor.com/mediterranean-roasted-vegetables/)
Hummus (Costco)
Tzaziki, double recipe, used all of it (https://www.loveandlemons.com/tzatziki-sauce/)*
Feta (1-2 cups)
Kalamata olives, sliced (Costco bottle is way too much)
Big green olives (Costco - they were mixed with feta and other things, delicious)
English cucumber, diced (1 is enough--but maybe just slice it to dip in the hummus)
Pickled red onion (Anne likes some from Smith's)
Naan or pita** (used a package of 6, quartered - ran out)
Walnuts (1 cup would be plenty)
Figs; pitted dates, apricots (bought 3 8oz bags, more than enough)
Baklava (Beirut café near Fashion Place Mall)
*Tzatziki
1/2 cup finely grated cucumber, drained by squeezing with a kitchen towel
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, grated
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped mint, optional
**Jerusalem Bakery in Georgia has the best--you don't want to eat it like bread, it's super thin and chewy, but it is great to stuff as a sandwich.
