Spicy Shrimp Moroccan Style

Spicy Shrimp Moroccan Style by John Spottiswood

These prawns are absolutely fantastic. Every time I make them I marvel at the density and depth of the flavors. I typically leave the Cayenne pepper out of about half of them if I'm cooking for the whole family. I often serve these in combination with a Moroccan chicken, fish, or lamb dish, but they work fine on their own too.

Leg of Lamb with Moroccan Seasonings

Leg of Lamb with Moroccan Seasonings by John Spottiswood

This was a wonderful leg of lamb that I cooked for a Holiday gathering this year. I took a base recipe for Moroccan Roast Lamb from one of my favorite cookbooks - Recipes from Morocco by Sufo. I then added roast potatoes and created a gravy from the drippings. It couldn't have come out much better. Everyone raved about it. I used…

Chicken and Eggplant Tagine

Chicken and Eggplant Tagine by John Spottiswood

I was shopping for a chicken and eggplant stew and both the eggplant and the bell peppers were on sale...so I bought extra. We ended up making two different recipes that called for chicken and eggplant two nights in a row, so we were able to really compare. While we all loved the other recipe (chicken and eggplant stew..on this…

Lamb Meatball and Fava Bean Tagine / Morocco

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,…

Tagine of Chicken with Turnips

Tagine of Chicken with Turnips by John Spottiswood

This is a wonderful recipe we made for a large group last night. I doubled the recipe below...but provide this as guidance for a normal night's meal. Every single guest had a second helping, so I know they liked it! Pretty easy to make too.

Senegalese Fish Yassa

Senegalese Fish Yassa by John Spottiswood

I've been a huge fan of Moroccan food for a while, and have begun to expand my horizons into the foods of other African countries. This is the first dish I've tried from Senegal, which has a strong French influence, and it is extraordinary. I made this when my cousin and his wife came to town..and I told them they were my guinea…

Tilapia Broiled Egyptian Style

Tilapia Broiled Egyptian Style by John Spottiswood

We adopted this recipe from our Egyptian babysitter in San Francisco named Hoda. We came to her house once to pick up our son and were greeted by the most amazing smell! She invited us to take a bite of the tilapia she had cooked. We were smitten. It was the first broiled, then soaked, recipe we had tasted, and it is still one of…

moroccan chicken kabob tapas

moroccan chicken kabob tapas by John Spottiswood

These kabobs are of Moroccan origin and are referred to as Pinchos in tapas lore. If you are not a huge fan of peanuts or onions, try this recipe. If you like peanuts and onions, you'll find our other moroccan chicken kabob recipe a bit more flavorful.

Moroccan Lamb Kabobs with Chickpea and Apricot Couscous

Moroccan Lamb Kabobs with Chickpea and Apricot Couscous by Hungry Jenny

These are really quick to make and the chickpea and apricot salad can be whipped up whilst the kabobs are grilling. This serves 2 so you can either make 8 kabob balls for a skewer each, or 16 smaller kabob balls for 2 skewers each! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/08/say-no-to-takeaway-kick-up-lamb-kabob.html

Lamb Tagine with Tomatoes and Roasted Eggplant

Lamb Tagine with Tomatoes and Roasted Eggplant by John Spottiswood

This is a Mediterranean spirited Tagine. It reminds me of the great lamb stews found from Morocco all the way to Afghanistan. I adapted it from a recipe in Paula Wolfort's great "The Food of Morocco" cookbook. Paula quotes chef Lucien Vanel as saying "Lamb, tomatoes, eggplant and garlic is a a combination before which we must all…

Chicken Kabob or Thigh Moroccan Style

Chicken Kabob or Thigh Moroccan Style by John Spottiswood

This is one of our favorite BBQ recipes. It always earns raves from our guests. Normally I do this on skewers. But if it is just for our family, and we are pressed for time, we sometimes just marinate boneless, skinless thighs in this marinade and cook them whole. Either way works well. You can make extra marinade and apply it to…

Moroccan Broiled Fish Skewers or Fillets

Moroccan Broiled Fish Skewers or Fillets by John Spottiswood

This is a tasty Moroccan dish that you are sure to love. Serve it over salad, cous cous, bulgar pilaf, or white or brown rice. We've used thick white fish but also thinner fish like catfish or tilapia when they are more reasonable. You can't skewer them, but you can broil the whole fillet (see picture). It also works with salmon…
