Good luck all

Bump

[Pixel-Snapper]

Nice one Mr R never tried to cook anything Moroccan before I don't think.

Research started.

[The Major]

didnt MC go to morroco a while ago, she might have a few recipes up her sleeves.

If you cook it in a proper marrocan tangine extra points should be awarded

[Vieste]

She did and she loves Moroccan food.

[Mr Roper]

Another bump to save it from page 2.

If my kitchen was installed I'd enter. It isn't ready.

A shame though as a good choice which I am sure will harvest some tasty dishes.

Bah - amateur! Out in rural Morocco people don't have kitchens. Flatbreads are baked on a skillet over a brushwood fire, and tagines slowly simmered over a charcoal brazier.

It's the ultimate in portable cuisine. Out in the olive groves near a village I stayed at, I'd catch a whiff of something smelling lovely. Got closer and saw it was a tagine for the workers' lunch.

A true tagine needs a good pound of sliced onions. The meat sits on that and steams in the juices released from the onions - and nothing else. Veg are added at around four hours in to a good six hour cook.

Grrr - hungry now.

Camel hump tastes like Spam. Apparently... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/picture_gall...

Got back from Morocco three weeks ago - the food out there is superb.

Lamb out of a half day cook in a tagine is so tender and so so tasty.

Sheep brains on the other hand.... Safe to say trying them once is enough for me.

Heres my entry Spicy Moroccan Rice with Spiced Carrot

Ingredients - maybe one or two missing


In the pan - the chickpeas had just finished boiling


Ready to be served


I really enjoyed making this and using only 3 pots saved on the washing up. I will be making this again, perhaps with more apricot next time - was delish as it was though.

[anonymous-user]

[madbadger]

Looks good Bob.

[Mr Roper]
