I *heart* Morocco. I've never actually been there (YET!! YET!!), but I am just enamored with it. I love the food, the culture, the style, the landscape, everything. I want to go there and eat vegetable tagines and walk through a
souq and buy spices and beautiful fabrics. Two of my favorite movies -
Casablanca and
The Man Who Knew Too Much - are set in Morocco. I turned my bedroom into a Moroccan-inspired retreat. I dreamed of actually going to Morocco this year to celebrate my 10-year wedding anniversary, but with a young son, it just wasn't going to happen. I told my hubby that he better plan on going for our 25-year anniversary!! :)
I'm just crazy about Moroccan food. So, you can imagine my utter delight when I spied
this recipe on Kristen Suzanne's blog - Raw Moroccan Gazpacho! Hello!
Raw tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, and spices are blended up, then topped with some diced tomato, pine nuts, and raisins. Why on Earth didn't I discover this recipe sooner?? I loved it!!
I also made some Carrots with Moroccan Spices from
Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People:
Sliced carrots, lemon juice, carrot juice, olive oil, parsley, mint, and some dried spices.
Served with some lavash crackers, this was a wonderfully light, flavorful meal for a hot summer's night.
Question: What's your favorite type of ethnic cuisine?
