- In a large bowl, toss prepared couscous with the raisins, the roasted vegetables, chickpeas, grated carrots, chopped parsley, and almonds. Add the dressing and toss to combine a few more times. If needed, season with more salt and pepper. Enjoy!
SALAT TANGIERS (MOROCCAN RECIPE FOR ZWT-9)
I am not sure why, but I had never used much couscous in my cooking until I played ZWT & No Africa was 1 of the Tour destinations. I fell deeply in "serious like" w/it & use it a lot in my cooking now. I am also a big fan of recipes that combine pasta plus veggie elements to work well as a single side-dish w/most meat choices. All that said, I found this recipe at a cooking-by-country website, captured it for myself & decided to share it w/you. Times were vague -- So I opted to allow 5 min for ingredient prep, 20 min cook time & not include the 1 hr chill time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the couscous & salt in lrg bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover it by ¼-inch. Cover tightly w/cling-film & allow to stand for 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the carrots, bell pepper & beans in a saucepan w/enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil & cook for 8-10 min until just tender.
- Meanwhile, mix together all dressing ingredients in a sml bowl.
- Drain the cooked vegetables well & add to the cooked couscous, mixing well w/a fork.
- Add onions, raisins & almonds. Then pour in the dressing & toss well. Chill for at least 1 hr before serving.
- NOTE: I can look into my creative cooking future & foresee that I may eventually play w/the flavor profile of this recipe. Using the salad dressing as the flavor mechanism would allow for different fruit flavors & even a sweet version that adds sugar or honey to the mix. Feel free to use your own imagination.
MOROCCAN SKIRT STEAK W/ROASTED PEPPER COUSCOUS (ZWT-9)
Entered for ZWT-9, this is the 2nd of 3 recipes from an article at the Eating Well website titled "Healthy Couscous Recipes". Per the recipe intro: "Thin cuts of beef (such as skirt steak or sirloin steak) cook very quickly when seared in a hot skillet -- Just right for a busy weeknight. We love how the spicy Moroccan flavors of the steak compliment the sweet, roasted pepper-studded couscous. Serve w/an Arugula salad & a glass of Pinot Noir." Prep & Cook times were noted as an identical total, but I have allowed an extra 10 min for ingredient assembly. Enjoy!

FISH COUSCOUS W/ONION T'FAYA (ZWT-9 - MOROCCO)
Entered for ZWT-9, this is the last of 3 recipes from an article at the Eating Well website titled "Healthy Couscous Recipes". Per the recipe intro: "T'fayas are special-occasion dishes served all along Morocco's Atlantic coast & they are known for their thick, sweet & heavily-spiced sauces. This sauce gets a pleasant layer of sweetness from raisins & a touch of sugar, which marry perfectly w/halibut." - Do not be intimidated by the visually long ingredient list. It is mostly spicing & other common ingredients. Prep & Cook times were shown as an identical total, but I have allowed an extra 10 min for ingredient assembly & Prep Step 1. Enjoy!

ORANGE-TOMATO COUSCOUS W/CHICKEN (ZWT-9 - MOROCCO)
Entered for ZWT-9, this is the 1st of 3 recipes from an article at the Eating Well website titled "Healthy Couscous Recipes". The recipe list at the website pays homage to the main Moroccan Berber dish most people are familiar with & consider a national delicacy - Couscous. Per Wikipedia, couscous is a staple food throughout the No African cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania & Libya. From the website intro: "This cinnamon & cumin-spiked couscous w/chicken takes its inspiration from Morocco. It's made mostly w/pantry staples. All you require is some chicken thighs (or breasts), a bunch of cilantro & an orange. The orange slices become tender after cooking, so you can eat them - skin & all. For a variation, sub diced leg of lamb for the chicken. Serve w/steamed green beans or a spinach salad." Prep & Cook times were given as an identical total, but I have allowed an extra 10 min for assembly of ingredients & Prep Step 1. Enjoy!

- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a Dutch oven over med heat. Add the chicken thighs & cook until browned (3-4 min per side). Transfer to a plate & set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil & onion to the pan. Cook (stirring occ) until the onion is softened (about 2 min). Add the remaining 1 tsp each of cinnamon & cumin. Cook (stirring constantly) for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes & their juice, chickpeas, broth, 2 tbsp cilantro & orange slices. Bring to a simmer (stirring w/a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits).

- Bring the cooking liquid back to a boil. Stir in couscous & place the chicken thighs on top of the mixture. Remove from heat, cover & let stand for 5 min before serving. Garnish w/the remaining cilantro.
- NOTE: Altho not mentioned in the recipe, I have allowed for using chicken breasts vs thighs because I prefer them. However, if lrg breasts are used, you may want to consider adjusting the ingredients & cooking times accordingly.
