The first time I had Lebanese food was well after the first time I’d eaten Moroccan food. Shockingly (or perhaps not) there wasn’t a lot Middle Eastern fare in the rural upper Midwest.
Surprising right?
I can remember one of the first meals I did have and my favorite part was the condiments. This is not a surprise to anyone that knows me. I LOVE all the little bobs and bits, side dishes, and condiments that go with a meal. If you want an easy Arabic recipe, then just pull together all kinds of those little bits for a mezze feast – I’ve certainly been known to make a meal just of those items!
It’s a little harder to find this type of thing now, while we do have some pickled vegetables in Morocco it’s not the same flavor. Vinegar is used but only marginally and things tend to have a more sweet taste than tart – and I LOVE sharp, tart pickled vegetables.
This is a simple pickled radish recipe that you can make and that can jazz up any sandwich.
