Tuesday Vignola dinner features Tunisian fare

Taste fine Tunisian foods at Vignola Tuesday during a special dinner featuring products from Les Moulins Mahjoub.

Majid Mahjoub is the owner of a premier product line, dating back to the late 1800s, that includes organic virgin olive oil, table olives, condiments, wild mountain capers, sun-dried tomatoes, piquant orange slices and harissa. Mahjoub will be at the restaurant to talk about his foods and answer questions.

The Rogers Collection, a local importer, is sponsoring Mahjoub’s visit. The four-course dinner will be prepared by Mahjoub and Lee Skawinski, chef and co-owner of Vignola at 10 Dana St.

There will be one seating from 6 to 9 p.m., and reservations are recommended. The cost is $60 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. To reserve a spot, call 772-1330.

On Thursday there will be another Hornitos tasting from 5 to 7 p.m. at El Rayo Taqueria, 101 York St. Sample some new menu items and taste tequilas for $15 per person.
