This week I’m participating in #WeekdaySupper, where contributors share easy meal ideas to help you get dinner on the table. As soon as the snow melts here, and sometimes when it’s still flying, our grill is on overdrive. Most everyone loves grilled burgers, but I like to mix that up. This recipe combines the Moroccan [...]
Moroccan salads are so important to the dinner table. One of the easiest, is this tomato and onion salad. It’s always on the table if there is fish being served and you’re likely to find it in regular rotation with many other meals as well. It may become a new favorite after you give it [...]
I love scouring the condiment aisle at any market I find myself in. When traveling it’s one of the most interesting aisles to explore. You can learn so much about people and their food culture. I never knew mayonnaise was so easy to make! As part of my preparation to move to Morocco, I’ve been [...]
The tajine is a Moroccan slow-cooker. It’s an ancient cooking pot originally used by the indigenous Berbers of North Africa. It is not only the word used to describe the cooking vessel but the meal contained inside. Braniya happens to be one of MarocBaba’s favorite meals, though it was only this year that he “remembered.” [...]
Morocco isn’t known for it’s coffee culture but I’ve found the “coffee culture” inside of many Moroccan homes to be my favorite part of the day. Arabica coffee sometimes mixed with spices and sometimes alone is brewed thick and served with plenty of sweet, whole milk. In honor of Mother’s Day in the United States [...]
I can’t believe I’ve never shared a how-to post for preserved lemons. These are THE ingredient that makes Moroccan cuisine what it is. A Moroccan pantry simply cannot exist without a jar of preserved lemons. Most often they are used in tajines though you will also find them in salads and fish dishes. The reason [...]
Last year for Mimouna I wrote a general post, introducing many of you to this unique Moroccan holiday. Whether you’re Jewish or not, Mimouna is a great festival to share with family and friends. This year the holiday is on April 2nd. So get your wheat flour ready to celebrate! Mimouna, like many Moroccan holidays, [...]
Stop by Mother Would Know for a tajine tutorial guest post! My friend Laura recently bought this really nice tajine but had no idea how to use it or cook in it! She asked if I could help her, and her readers out by offering a tutorial. In the first post I talk about how [...]
In Morocco there is a really unique holiday called Mimouna. It really only happens there or in communities that have a Moroccan Jewish diaspora population. It happens the day after Passover and and marks the start of spring and the return of chametz or bread products. Last year I wrote a whole post with many [...]
Can you believe that delicious dish came out of my slow cooker? I’ve been craving a meal that is melt in your mouth delicious but I’ve had almost no energy since we came back from vacation. This meal really hit the spot. If I told you this meal is easy to make would you believe [...]
Lamb or mutton is a meat that was new to me. My first memory encountering this was at a seder meal every 5th grader at my church attended. The seder meal marks the beginning of passover in Judaism. Don’t ask me why a bunch of Scandinavian Lutherans included this practice in their congregation. They [...]
