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 [...]
If you asked my mom, she would probably tell you I wasn’t a very adventurous eater when I was a child. I liked all of the things every other Midwestern child liked. Hot dogs and hamburgers, casseroles, and of course heavy doses of starches like pasta, bread, and potatoes. It’s what we ate. It’s what [...]
One of my favorite go-to recipes for a quick dinner is chicken stir fry. We’ve been eating a lot of rice and while I normally would serve stir-fry with more rice it was time to change things up. There really is no “right” way to make these. The ingredients can be whatever you have [...]
There are two Moroccan meals that I learned first. This is one of them (the other is Moroccan style lentils). Although I now can make any number of tajines and other dishes, chicken with potatoes and preserved lemons brings back really nice memories. It took me many tries to get the spices right and [...]
Have you been following me on Pinterest? I’ve started a weekly meal plan board that I switch out the recipes for every week. There was a time when I was really picky when it came to meal planning and I loved the structure that it provided me. But, I never found something that let me [...]
The last month has been a very busy time for me. There were more family activities than normal, a nephew was born, a birthday party was planned and carried out (K turned 5), and a terrible toothache that led to having my wisdom teeth extracted. I’m kind of tired reading that. Thankfully I had many [...]
For some reason I really have an affinity for stuffed poultry. Maybe it’s my American roots and that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Or maybe it’s just that it’s oh so tasty! There are many varieties of Moroccan stuffed main dishes. Of course there’s stuffed chicken but there are also stuffed fish dishes. [...]
Today’s guest post comes from Olga at Mango & Tomato. I had the pleasure of meeting Olga at Eat Write Retreat in May. I had so much fun getting to know her. I really love her great eye for photography and fabulous recipes. I’m so happy she was willing to share this recipe! Please make [...]
