Moroccan Seafood and Broccoli Salad

modified version of a jane brody recipe. you can substitute sliced surimi sticks for the shrimp or scallops but, if you do so, do not add until salad has been dressed and tossed or the surimi will shred. cooking (passive) time also includes chilling time.

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.

Hajar S Eggplant Aubergine Braniya Salad

here in morocco we have a few very good eggplant salads (slatas). the best known being zalouk. braniya is the moroccan arabic word for eggplant and this salad is begged for by hubby and friends! this is a lush paritally cooked salad that does involve standing time. this is not good without standing 6 hours or overnight is even better! it just doesn't work freshly done. c.2005

Moroccan Desert Salad

our guide made this salad for us several times, during a trek through morocco's sahara desert. it can be a main dish, served with lots of bread, or a starter. you can add other fried veggies such as potatoes (although they would have to be par-boiled first) and you can also vary the ingredients. in fact, i think it's best when you dress it up a bit, so consider this recipe like an empty artist's palette. try making it with red onion, instead of white, a few olives, sliced boiled eggs or some tinned fish. mackerel seemed quite popular in morocco but chunks of tuna would also be nice.
