Lamb Meatball and Fava Bean Tagine / Morocco by Amos Miller

This is truly a hand-crafted meal - it takes time. I know that only the most devoted will make this. But it is nothing short of spectacular and was my favorite Spring dish. I'd eat it weekly. This is how I recall Mina made for me when I lived in Marrakech. I'm sharing it just because it is a personal favorite and, for guests,…

Tomato Rice Pilaf by Mary Joseph

This originated as a Lebanese dish that my mom always used to make, I tweaked it a bit adding tomatoes and mint and leaving out the meat that it called for. If you're a cheese lover this would be amazing with crumbled French Feta mixed in.

KARI-KARE (STEW WITH PEANUT SAUCE) by MARIA LOURDES V. LIPARDO-AYUB

Tagine of Chicken with Preserved Lemon by John Spottiswood

This dish may not sound as exciting to you as some of the other tagine's I've posted (which is why I didn't try it myself for a while), and preserved lemons may sound difficult to make (which they aren't), but this is an amazingly tasty and easy dish to make. Once you've tried it, I guarantee you will make it again and again. Over…

“Oh Mom, that looks so good!” Yeah, I did it again! Another soup Max will eat! He loves Lima beans, he loves chili, and he loves carrots and red peppers. Put them all together and you get a happy nine-year-old who will eat something other than toast! He even helped me name it. While I was making the soup, Max was working on a…

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup by David Martin

This versatile soup will be welcome as a first course to an elegant dinner or the main course on a blustery afternoon. Its beauty is that it may be prepared a day or several ahead and will be as good as the day it was made. While you can get good boxed soups, I doubt you'll fine one that has as good a flavor as this soup. If…
