I'd think Couscous with redcurrants in it would be great. (Don't have a
recipe, but I bet there are some on the web) Tabouleh or hummus also might
be nice with it, as would Baba Ganouj. Dolmas might also be nice -- any
Mediterranean or Greek dish might go well with it.

This sounds like a great dish to serve for lunch or light supper.  What's a
good dish to accompany it?  I'd try pita bread, but that seems a bit plain.


Any ideas?
Abby

"And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings
of great joy, Which shall be to all people. "For unto you is born this day
in the city of David A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be
a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying
in a manger.
