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.

Moroccan Vegetable Stew with Couscous

low fat, simple and very tasty. this is a great way to get back on track after the holidays but it's great at any time of the year! save time by purchasing the squash already cut into cubes.

Bissara Fava Bean Puree

this is my quick version of a recipe from international vegetarian. bissara is a moroccan dip that is similar in its presentation (but not taste) to the more common hummus. enjoy this with pita bread (fresh or toasted) or cut up vegetables. traditionally, this is served with a generous drizzle of olive oil on top of the prepared spread both for flavor and to act as a preservative. though i never do, you are free to so.
