	Cumin Rice by Joyce Leung This rice is a delicious mix of cumin and cinnamon. It provides a nice, slightly sweet flavor, that is a perfect complement to any middle eastern dish. The only dishes I would avoid serving this with are sweet dishes with dates, figs, etc. I served it with my Braised Lamb with Beans. It was great!	7 votes 4 reviews 1 comment 20775 views

	Moroccan Fish Soup by John Spottiswood This is a flavorful, spicy soup that happens to be Moroccan but will remind you of fish soups found from Spain to Russia. It is a classic! Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 as an appetizer.	4 votes 3 reviews 23664 views

	Jamaican "Beef" Patties by Kiki Thompson Coming from a Jamaican background, many times my palate craves the blended flavors of curry. So I veganized one of my favorite treats, Jamaican Beef Patties. These are kind of similar to Mexican empinadas, but spicy I was kind of skeptical at first, but you can not tell the difference…it’s all about the seasoning when it comes down…	2 votes 9588 views
	Beer marinated pork chops by Peter Brown When selecting pork chops for this dish make sure they are evenly sliced so that they are all ready at the same time. The chops should also have a good circle of fat because this adds to the flavour. To extract the best flavour from the marinade it is best to soak the meat overnight in a covered dish in the refrigerator, otherwise…	3 votes 1 review 6485 views

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…	8 votes 4 reviews 5 comments 10312 views
	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…	3 votes 2 comments 6062 views
	Spicy Baked Fish by Peter Brown Seafood and hot spices make a very tasty dish for summer and it is well-suited to a variety of salads, particularly with the traditional Lebanese bulgar wheat salad, Tabbouleh. It is important when spicing up fish to use firm white fish because oily fish and spices are not firm friends. It is also important when you use lemon or…	1 vote 3329 views
