MOROCCAN STEWED CHICKEN
I got this recipe from my husbands Mens Health Magazine. I made a few tweaks, one of which was to use boneless skinless breasts rather than the boneless skinless thighs the recipe called for. By making these changes I was able to get the fat down from over 16 grams to a little over 5, and cut the calories by more than half! This went together quickly and was very delicious. The house smells heavenly while this is cooking! (This could easily be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken.)Would make an impressive dinner for guests with very little effort!

- When the zucchini begin to brown add the garbanzo beans, water, tomatoes, cayenne, cumin, and cinnamon. Lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. (do not cover the pan).
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Serve with steamed rice, or couscous.
MOROCCAN STEAMED CHICKEN WITH SPINACH AND CHERMOULA STUFFING
Stuffed and steamed chicken is a light dish for those avoiding fat. The steaming process ensures that the whole chicken remains moist, even the breast section. Then we roast the chicken for about 20 minutes, just enough time to give it a nice finish and also concentrate the flavors. This combination of cooking methods dates back only two decades in my family, and we all agree it takes the dish to another level.This is another recipe calling for chermoula marinade. If you don't have it handy, just make sure you chop the fresh herbs finely before using them.

Steps:
- Brine the chicken ahead of time and pat dry. Season with salt.
- Make 1 1/2 cups chermoula if you haven't already. Stir in harissa to taste, then measure out 1/2 cup and set aside the remaining chermoula for the stuffing.
- Add the finely chopped preserved lemon pulp to the 1/2 cup of chermoula. Generously rub the mixture inside the chicken's cavity as well as under and above the skin.
- Parboil the rice in boiling salted water for about 10 min. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Steam the chopped spinach (or chard, purslane, mallow) in a couscoussier (or other large steamer) over hot boiling water. Don't worry about fitting all that pile into the couscoussier; the greens will shrink as they steam so you can add more progressively.
- When the greens are wilted, set them aside to cool then squeeze out the excess liquid.
- In a saucepan or frying pan, slightly saute the chermoula for a minute, then stir in the chopped spinach and all the other ingredients. Fold in the rice, stir and set aside.
- Stuff the chicken's cavity from the bottom then from the neck to ensure it's properly filled. Leftover filling can be inserted carefully under the skin by the neck and thighs. Seal the cavity with a toothpick (or truss the chicken for a better finish).
- Depending on the size of your steamer or couscoussier, steam the chicken one after the other or together at the same time. It usually takes about 1 hour. It is advised to turn the chicken halfway through steaming to ensure it's cooked properly. I suggest you start by placing the chicken breast side down.
- Just before serving, brush the chickens with butter or olive oil. Roast the chickens from both sides for about 20-30 minutes at 400 F/200 C until they look nicely golden.
- If you plan to serve this dish without the roasting step, begin steaming the vegetables halfway through cooking the chicken. Either use another steamer for the vegetables or lift the chicken, scatter the vegetables (mixed or in separate piles) and place the birds back. Carry on steaming as per previous guideline. (The vegetables can be seasoned in this step, unless you want to saute them in butter later on.)
- Alternatively, you can boil the vegetables separately in salted water. Make sure to not to let them get mushy as we still need to season and saute them in butter.
- Heat the butter, mix in the other ingredients (cumin, parsley etc). Fold in the vegetables and delicately stir. Knock off the heat and set aside, covered. Keep warm.
- Place the chickens in the middle of a large serving dish and scatter the vegetables around. Serve hot or warm.

MOROCCAN-STYLE STUFFED ACORN SQUASH
Vegetables, garbanzos, raisins and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth taste delicious inside butter and brown sugar-brushed acorn squash. You can experiment with different vegetables, or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts - I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

MOROCCAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMONS
Steps:
- Make a spice rub for the chicken from the ginger, turmeric, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Gently lift and loosen the skin of the chicken from the breast and leg meat, leaving the skin intact. Spoon most of the spice mixture under the skin, and rub the spices over the meat, taking care to reach the leg.
- Turn the chicken over, and loosen the skin from the back of the chicken. Add the remaining spice rub to the back meat, reaching to the legs if possible.
- Salt and pepper the cavity of the chicken, truss the legs and rub a little olive oil on the outside of the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a glass or plastic bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight.
- Set aside the saffron. Slice the onions as thinly as possible. Place the onions, garlic, remaining spices, cilantro, oil and smen in a heavy-bottomed shallow stock pot or Dutch oven . Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for an hour or until the onions are soft and can easily be mashed with a spoon or vegetable masher. Avoid burning the onions, and add a little oil or water if necessary to prevent the onions from sticking.
- Mash the onions and continue cooking, uncovered, until the onions are reduced to a thick blended mass sitting in the oil. How long this takes will depend on how moist the onions were, how thinly you sliced them, and how wide your pot is.
- When the onions are a unified mass, stir in the saffron and remove the onions from the heat. At this point, the sauce can be cooled and refrigerated overnight.
- Transfer the chicken to an oiled shallow roasting pan, allow the chicken to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven 325 F/160 C.
- Roast the chicken uncovered, basting occasionally and rotating the pan halfway through cooking, for 2 to 3 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and the leg can be moved easily in its joint.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate, or hold warm in the turned off oven.
- Pour the juices from the roasting pan into the onion sauce mixture, stirring to blend. Add the preserved lemon and olives, 2 or 3 tablespoons of water as needed and simmer the sauce over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until well-blended and the sauce is thick.
- Pour the sauce onto the serving platter, spooning a little sauce and olives over the chicken. Garnish the chicken with some of the preserved lemons, and serve immediately with Moroccan bread ( khobz ) for scooping up the chicken and sauce.

Steps:
- Rub your chicken with Robertsons Chicken Spice and Robertsons Spices. Make sure every part of the chicken is covered.
- Place the whole chicken in a plastic bag and allow time for it to absorb all those flavours for an hour or overnight in the fridge.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C before you make the stuffing. In a blender, place your bread crumbs, apricots, Robertsons Spices, garlic cloves, chunks of onions, parsley, Dijon mustard and lemon juice, and then blitz.
- Remove your chicken from the plastic bag and stuff with your Moroccan stuffing.
- Tie the legs together and hide the wings under the chicken, because they cook the quickest and you don't want them to burn. Place it in the oven and allow to cook for 30 minutes per 500 grams.
- To plate- Layer the couscous first, then your beautiful roasted chicken. Garnish with salad, dressing and micro herbs.
- In a very hot griddle pan, toast your pine nuts until they are a beautiful toasted brown colour, then set aside.
- In a hot pan, add butter, then carrots and cook until they get slightly charred. Next, drizzle carrots with honey and toss.
- Remove the carrots and plate by sprinkling the pine nuts and garnish with fresh mint.
- Place the couscous in boiling hot water, let the water soak that up, remove from the heat and allow the couscous to absorb the water ensuring you don't overcook it.
- Finish off with butter and season with salt and pepper.
- For the salad- on a big plate, place your rocket, then fennel and orange segments. Garnish with the slices of radish and lastly drizzle with the vinaigrette dressing.
- For the salad dressing- in a bowl, add the wholegrain mustard, lemon juice and rice wine vinegar. Mix together and slowly add the olive oil as you stir. Season with salt and pepper.
