Do you have an extra seat at your thanksgiving table? Consider
inviting an international student (or two!) to join your family for
dinner. Sharing the holiday with an international visitor is a
special way to celebrate, and provides a wonderful opportunity
for both local families and students to learn about anothers'
countries and traditions.
Students who want to join a family for the holiday are invited
to sign up in the FIUTS office before November 16, and to bring
a traditional dish from their country to share. Once matched,
students and families can coordinate transportation and other
details.
Families who wish to host students should email or call the
FIUTS office at (206) 543-0735.

Here's a recipe submitted by Lissy Rabusseau, a visiting
graduate student from Germany.
Mediterranean Chicken Shish Kebab with Rice and
Tzatziki
Ingredients: 2 medium size chicken breasts 1 pound cherry tomatoes ½ pound fresh mozzarella cheese Olive oil 1/2 lemon Fresh basil leaves 1 cucumber 2 pounds plain yoghurt 1 medium size onion 3 cups of white rice Salt, pepper, 2 tbs dry Italian Herbs (Thyme, Basil, Oregano, Rosemary) Lettuce for decoration Tzatziki (10 minutes): Peel the cucumber and grate, then lightly salt them. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain. Add the medium sized onion, chopped into very small pieces. Add the yoghurt, season with salt and pepper. Rice (20 minutes): In a large pot bring 3 cups of rice and 9 cups of salted water to boil. Cover and let cook on low heat until all the water is absorbed by the rice. (Approx. 20 minutes) Shish Kebab (20 minutes): Cut up Chicken breast into 1 inch chunks. Fry Chicken breast in olive Oil until tender and braised to a golden-brown colour. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the chicken. Add Salt, Pepper and the dry Italian Herbs. Cut mozzarella into pieces about half an inch thick and a little more than one inch in diameter. Now the fried and seasoned chicken chunks need to be arranged on shish kebab sticks together with the cherry tomatoes, the mozzarella cheese pieces and basil leaves. It is fun, but don?t burn yourself because the chicken is still warm. To serve, decorate the outside of the plate with a few leaves of lettuce, then place rice and Tzatziki on the plate. Top with the Shish kebabs. Makes four servings. Guten Apettit. |
