Before I went to Morocco I had never eaten a pistachio. The closest I had come to a pistachio was in the Jello pudding my dad ate. But, once I ate one, well I was hooked – and a little upset that I had missed out on this delicious nut for the first 20 years [...]
Moroccan pastries are small, bite size gems of deliciousness. Most have nuts, usually almonds, honey, and powdered sugar. Sadly, the majority also have wheat making them off-limits for us. Ramadan is right around the corner and I have been re-making all of our favorite treats into gluten-free replicas. Are you ready for a ghriba-a-palooza? I’ve [...]
Do your kids cringe at the sight of cooked carrots? One of the easiest and most delicious Moroccan salads is this cooked carrot salad served at room temperature and dressed with a simple vinaigrette. When I was growing up I, like many other kids, wasn’t too fond of cooked vegetables. But, fresh vegetables well that [...]
This weekend is considered the start of summer in the United States. So, it makes sense that the theme for this weeks’ Sunday Supper is Picnics. It seems like we missed spring and are jumping right into summer considering we’ve only been without snow on the ground the last three weeks. I however, am not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you I am a little nervous posting this recipe. You see, until this weekend I never realized the level of reverence Moroccans have for couscous. It’s the “national dish” of Morocco and in a recent Twitter conversation I was shocked to discover Moroccans take offense to the term [...]
If there is anyone that knows Moroccan food it’s Paula Wolfert. She truly is the queen, the Julia Child’s of Moroccan food in America. I adore her cookbooks and she is truly such a very kind and wonderful person. I hope that I have the honor of meeting her very soon. This is her recipe [...]
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 [...]
Last week in my grocery shopping I came across the bin of fall vegetables. This might not be a phenomenon where you are but it is definetely common here in the Midwest. (I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture). Imagine a pallet with solid sides, about 4 feet high - LOADED with squash and [...]
Couscous is one of the national dishes of Morocco however, it’s a dish that I rarely make. This is not because I don’t love it (because I do!) It does take some time to make the couscous and it also takes a little practice to get the flavors right. I have been told that you [...]
