Seafood Bastilla with Shrimp, Calamari and Fish

Swordfish, shrimp, and calamari are mixed with Chinese vermicelli, black mushrooms, and a spicy tomato sauce. The filling is enclosed in paper-thin warqa or phyllo dough and then baked.The measures below are for raw seafood prior to cleaning. Prep time does not include shelling or deveining shrimp or cleaning calamari. Save time by having your fishmonger do some of this for you.Seafood Bastilla can be assembled and frozen until baking time. Shape the bastilla into a single large pie as shown here or make small, individual-sized pies for easier serving.

Lamb and Apricot Tagine

this traditional method of cooking a tagine requires little preparation time, especially if you buy the meat already diced. serve with steamed couscous, rice (or boiled potatoes) and a green salad, or as part of a larger moroccan meal. suggestions: for an excellent soup, add chickpeas, chopped onions, carrots, celery, turnips and plenty more water. you can also make the tagine with mutton, in which case leave it to cook for about five or six hours (this is an ideal dish for the slow cooker).

Lamb Tagine

When I made this dish I left the kitchen window open. The smell attracted several male neighbors, and when my husband came in, he said that it smelled so good, he hoped it was coming from our house and not from someone else's! Serve with my Moroccan Couscous and Cucumber Raita on this site.
