Orange Blossom Semolina Cake
A dense semolina and yogurt cake soaked in cooled orange blossom syrup the moment it leaves the oven, so the crumb stays wet and grainy. Cut into diamonds with an almond in each one.
Orange and Olive Salad
A Moroccan first-course salad of cold orange rounds with salty oil-cured olives and sharp raw onion, dressed with cumin and cinnamon. It comes together in one bowl and no heat.
Moroccan Carrot Salad with Cumin
Carrot coins simmered just tender, then marinated while still warm in cumin, paprika, garlic, lemon and olive oil so the dressing soaks in rather than sitting on top.
Harira Chickpea and Lentil Soup
A tomato-based Moroccan soup of chickpeas and brown lentils spiced with ginger, cinnamon and turmeric, thickened at the end with a flour-and-water slurry that gives it a velvety body.
Chickpea and Apricot Tagine
Dried chickpeas simmered slowly with ras el hanout and saffron, then finished with dried apricots, preserved lemon, and green olives. Sweet, sour, and salty in a single pot.
