Well, I haven’t joined the WIAW crowd for awhile, but I decided to do so this week–while breaking all the rules. A month that’s supposed to feature snacks? Whoops–here’s just one complete meal. Inspired by a cabinet full of spices and a trip to the farmer’s market.
Moroccan Zucchini and Grape Salad
Based off of this recipe.
Moroccan-Spiced Baked Carrots
Based off of this recipe.
Moroccan Fava Beans in Tomato Sauce
Based off of this recipe (and my first time ever cooking fava beans! I do realize you’re supposed to double shell them, but I’m lazy and I also hate waste–the hull is perfectly edible and tasted great).
And, well, this didn’t help squash my dream of going to Morocco, that’s for sure…
Ive never even THOUGHT of recipes like this!! But Im really bad with trying things out of the box lol
You should give it a go! These all ended up being super-simple recipes, and I was prepared for way more time in kitchen.
THOSE CARROTS!!! Gotta bookmark those to make, how delicious!
Ohh, you should, they are delicious and so simple to make!
Your fava bean and tomato sauce dish looks wonderful! I am craving marinara so badly right now and this just amped up the craving a few notches. Yum!
And this was even better than marinara! Unless somewhere sells Moroccan-flavored marinara. I’d be all over that.
These look delicious – I cannot get over how good those carrots look YUM.
Yum! Morocco would be so incredible both in sight and in taste! I had fava beans for the first time in Italy. So good!
How had we both missed out on fava beans for so long? I’m definitely a fan now, the farmer’s market dude better have them again this weekend!
Everything looks delicious, Allie, especially for some reason the carrots. Yum…
Mmm I’m now craving some Moroccan food!
Mmm those carrots look fabulous! I love how these ideas came from the spices from a Farmer’s Market, one of the best things about summer and fresh local food!
I would also love to go to Morocco! Sometimes I don’t bother double podding my fava beans either
It seemed like a lot of work for not a lot of benefit–the pods were still very tasty! And I liked the extra texture they gave.
Haha it’s safe to say that visiting Morocco is on your bucket list
! I’m right there with you, more so especially after seeing how delicious Moroccan food can be! Those beans in the last picture are especially calling out to me!
As veggie girl would say – holy yum!!! I need to make those baby carrots asap!
These all look deeeeelicious. I almost studied abroad in Morocco a few years ago.
Oh my gosh! Can I go back to school so I can do that? But, you know, without the studying, books and tests…
Those carrots look so good! I don’t think I have had Moroccan food … but it all looks good!
You should definitely give Moroccan a try, the flavor combinations are so good–often a hint of sweet combined with rich spices but all in savory dishes. And the recipes I find are always really healthy, as if it couldn’t get any better…
Ooh, Moroccan spices sound delicious in dishes. Great Wednesday!
