Moroccan food, anyone? - updated
In other news, I'm working on a Moroccan feast for Friday night's graduate student Christianity Explored course. I'll try to take a camera and post a picture on this post then! Here's the plan so far:
- hummus, marinated olives, and spiced carrots, served as a starter with warmed pita bread (closest I can get to Moroccan flat bread and broad bean dip)
- lamb and date tagine for the meat eaters, pumpkin and lentil tagine for those veggies, served with buttered couscous with raisins, pistachios, roasted almonds, pine nuts, and cinnamon
- figs with a dollop of greek yoghurt, topped with honey and pistachios, and served with macaroons. I'm going to quarter the figs lengthwise so they look like flowers with honeyed yoghurt pistachio centers - pretty!
- coffee, tea, etc.

Yum, yum! When are you going to come back over the pond and cook for us?!
Christmas, of course! The lamb and prune/date tagine was pretty yummy. It's just a lamb (leg), stewed in chicken broth with cinnamon for an hour, then add whole peeled shallots, some cubed squash, and a few tablespoons of lemon juice and of tomato paste, cook for another half an hour, then add chickpeas and dates/prunes. Thicken with cornstarch if you like and serve with couscous. It's pretty easy going if you're hanging around the house...
oh by the way, I forgot my camera - I'll see if I can get copies of any pics, though!
