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 [...]
Everyone loves a roast chicken, and I love braised chicken even more. If you’ve never had a cornish hen or poussin as our friends over the pond like to call it is a young chicken. It is primarily white meat with very small little legs. This is great for our house because no one likes [...]
It didn’t break!! I’ve blogged a few times about my bad luck with cracking tajines. The most recent tajine that I’ve gotten I didn’t take any chances with – doing lots of prepping before actually using it. I very timidly decided to try it out, cooking a chicken tajine on very low temperatures and only [...]
Eeeek! The week got away from me and I didn’t get a chance to try Dorie’s recipe for b’stila. So I guess that means I will just have to share my own! I was really looking forward to this week since it is a Moroccan recipe. I’m guessing it would up in the cookbook [...]
I’ve been reading so many cooking magazines and cookbooks lately that I haven’t even had time to make recipes from them! I have been trying to incorporate more beans and fiber into our diet, as I am anemic and my husband has cholesterol issues. This truly is a comfort dish. It has the lemony [...]
Have you ever planned a meal in your head certain that you had everything on hand, then gotten halfway into making it only to realize you’re missing a key ingredient? Yea…that’s what happened with this recipe. I had plans to make a one dish meal of chicken and rice…except believe it or not I was [...]
Looking for a change from the Chicken, Olive and French Fry tajine? Try using regular potatoes! Saves some time in cooking and eliminate the frying for a little healthier option. This is another of my children’s favorite meals! Ingredients 1 lb of chicken 1/2 preserved lemon 1-2 potatoes quartered 1/2 onion chopped finely 2 tsp [...]
