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.

Save time by having your fishmonger do some of this for you.Seafood Bastilla can be assembled and frozen until baking time.

Baghrir Moroccan Yeast Pancakes

southern moroccan pancake cooked only on one side; these are awesome.

Batata Slata Moroccan Potato Salad

this dish takes a slightly different turn depending upon the cook. some, like me prefer more lemon or vinegar. some only use vinegar or lemon due to finances and can't interchange though most of us do exchange them equally. in any case it is a wonderful potato salad that is a bit different than usual. in summer i use the tomato and out of summer i do not. basically if i feel like adding the tomato i do and if i don't, then i don't. this is easy to make as most ingredients are already home and we often serve this with our fall and winter soups and crusty baguette. c.2005
