Marianne Tshihamba’s Silk Road Cooking Series – Turkish Lahmacun

Let’s time-travel with our taste buds! With Marianne Tshihamba, we’ll map a culinary journey from Beijing’s bustling markets to the coastal kitchens of Zanzibar, exploring how Silk Road traders fused ingredients into the world’s first global cuisines.

Get ready for a hands-on dough session! Lahmacun is a crispy, thin flatbread generously topped with a spiced mix of minced lamb, tomatoes, and peppers.  You’ll master shaping the perfect thin crust and learn to balance the savory, spiced lamb topping before baking your own “Turkish pizza” to crispy perfection!

Marianne Tshihamba has traveled the world pursuing new flavors and demystifying unfamiliar ingredients. Here in the Washington area, she has scouted the countless international grocery stores that stock their shelves with a wide range of products to serve the needs of our diverse community. Good food knows no boundaries or borders. Check out Marianne on WJLA, where she makes regular appearances to discuss her food and travels.
