Kefta meatballs and tomato sauce tagine with jalapeño & herb yoghurt sauce

It’s back to school season and I couldn’t be happier about it! To celebrate, we’re making a traditional and comforting meal: “tagine dial kefta bil matecha” and we’re going to give it a little 2021 update with some more ingredients such as pickled onions and a jalapeño yoghurt sauce. These extra ingredients/toppings mean a little bit more work, but they also make the tagine even more irresistible!  Tagine dial kefta bil matecha translates to “kefta with tomato (sauce) tagine”. This recipe is very similar to a shakshuka, minus the eggs. Actually, very often Moroccans like to add eggs at t ..read more

Sesame seeds gazelle horns with rainbow sprinkles

. For me gazelle horns mean one thing: Moroccan teatime! If you get the chance to enjoy teatime in a Moroccan home there’s a big chance that you will find a plate of gazelle horns, next to ghribas or almond briouats and of course a big pot of Moroccan mint tea!  These gazelle horns are made with almond paste flavoured with orange blossom and cinnamon and because I felt like giving them a little fun touch, I’ve added rainbow sprinkles to the mix! They are also covered in sesame seed which gives them a delicious crunch and a nutty flavour. They’re totally addictive!.  p.s: In order to ..read more

Happy new year!!  How have you all been doing!? In London we are currently going through our third lockdown or maybe it's the second officially, I am a bit lost to be honest... Interestingly, this time I decided to stick to a slightly "cleaner" diet. Well, I think it's probably the classic 'January feeling' and the post-holiday celebrations/indulgence rather than the actual lockdown.  Between work, everyone always under the same roof and home schooling there hasn’t been much time left to cook for the family! That said, there are a few dishes I have been doing on repeat because they ..read more

Baghrir pancakes with brown butter spiced apples

A few years ago, when travelling for fun was still a thing, I went to Amsterdam and ate one of the best apple cakes (also known as appeltaart) in my entire life. It was so good we went back again on our last day. The cake was perfectly moist, its crumb was beautifully crisp and its apples were gently cooked and lightly spicy! It was just delightful and it made me realise how I should spice my apples more often. So today we are topping our Moroccan pancakes with brown butter spiced apples because I always have stacks of baghrir in the freezer ready to be used and we always a bag of apples sitt ..read more

Hello world! It has been a little while, I can’t  believe I shared my previous post almost 18 months ago. These past 18 months have been *interesting* to say the least…  On a personal note, we welcomed our second baby girl to the world and have been enjoying spending time as a family of four which makes us feel extremely lucky and blessed!  On a more general note, the world is a very different place today, we can’t shake people’s hands anymore (!!) and everytime we leave the house, we must not forget our masks. It’s a weird time to be alive but the good news is, we can still co ..read more

It’s mid-May so we can officially say summer is around the cauliflower, ugh I mean the corner! Ok, not funny. But seriously, I have been waiting for summer since last September after we came back from our little voyage around the Mediterranean. These past months, I have been asking Google where I could find a sunny beach and the answer was always somewhere that requires me to take a nine hours flight, #notconvenient. Knowing that I can go to a nice beach for a quick weekend right now really elevates my mood, so I am really thrilled summer is around the corner. This cauliflower ! I had been th ..read more

Rfissa Express – Fragrant chicken and lentils with papardelle
My Moroccan Food Blog
by Nargisse Benkabbou

Do you know rfissa? Rfissa is a kind if chicken tagine served with thin stripes of pan fried bread similar to msemen – called trid – and then topped with lentils. Because making trid is relatively time consuming, when we make rifssa at home in Morocco, we usually buy the trid from the souk or a local bakery.   A few weeks ago as I was looking at my cupboard, I found some papardelle and immediately thought, how about making rfissa with them instead of trid! I had been craving this dish for so long and never found the motivation to make trid myself so it definitely sounded like a good idea ..read more

Oh la la, it’s already December! Have you started planning your meals for the holiday season? For now, I am pretty sure that chermoula oysters and turkey, cranberry & chestnut tagine will be on the menu. I am really struggling to find new canapés or bite-size-thingies ideas. Any tips welcomed! These cookies. For those who have my book, you probably came across something that reminds you of them, their older cousin: my ‘chebakia sugar cookie’! Chebakia is a delicious pastry that Moroccans enjoy during Ramadan. It really is delicious and wonderful but it’s quite time consuming so whenever I ..read more
