MOROCCAN HERB JAM
Paula Wolfert's first and still-influential book, "Couscous and Other Good Food From Morocco," published in 1973, influenced a generation of cooks yearning to expand its horizons. This fascinating recipe for a mixture of long-cooked greens, which she learned while living in Morocco, appeared in her 2003 book, "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen: Recipes for the Passionate Cook". The acclaimed chef Russell Moore of Camino restaurant in Oakland, Calif., a great fan of Ms. Wolfert and this recipe, has now adapted it and incorporated herb jam into his menu on a daily basis. Among its virtues: It tastes wonderful and lasts for a week or more in the refrigerator; it is great when spread on toasted bread or stirred into a soup; and it uses greens, like the outer leaves of lettuce, that would otherwise be wasted.

Steps:
- Put the greens and herbs and garlic cloves all together in a large steamer set over medium-high heat, and steam until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you don't have a steamer, use a large, deep skillet with a lid. Put 2 inches of water in bottom of pan, add greens, cover and cook at a brisk simmer.)
- Set the garlic aside. Drain greens, let cool and squeeze out moisture; pick out the tougher herb stems if necessary. Put greens and herbs on a cutting board and chop very finely with a large knife.
- Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chiles and let them sizzle without browning (or use a pinch of crushed red pepper), then add the chopped greens, a pinch of salt and half the cumin seeds. The flavor is concentrated by cooking most of the moisture out of the greens; this will take about 10 to 15 minutes. (Stir the herb jam mixture often as the water evaporates; it will want to stick.)
- Turn the heat off but leave the mixture in the pan. Peel the steamed garlic and mash it into the pan along with the olives. Mix everything and taste; add salt as needed, a good splash of olive oil, the pimentón and more cumin to taste. The herb jam should be highly seasoned. Add more chile if it isn't spicy enough. Just before serving, add a squeeze of lemon. Spread on toasted pita or flatbread if desired. The herb jam can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for about 5 days.

Steps:
- 1. Put the garlic cloves in a large steamer basket set over a pan of simmering water and top with the spinach, parsley, celery, and cilantro.

Using the back of a fork, mash the garlic cloves.
- 2. In a medium cazuela set over a flame-tamer or in a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the mashed garlic, olives, paprika, cayenne, and cumin and stir over moderately high heat for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the greens and cook, mashing and stirring, until soft and dry and somewhat smooth, about 15 minutes.
- 3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Mash in the remaining olive oil. Refrigerate, closely covered, for at least 1 day and up to 4 days.
- 4. To serve, return to room temperature. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pack in a serving dish and serve with crackers or semolina bread .

- Combine currants and lemon juice in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Drain currants, and set aside.
- While currants soak, bring 1/2 inch of water to a boil in a large pot over high. Place chard in a large steamer basket. Place basket over boiling water, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, and steam until chard has just wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, mint, and parsley. Cover and steam until herbs have wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove herb mixture, and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool 10 minutes. Squeeze cooled herb mixture to remove excess water; finely chop.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add coriander and Aleppo pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, until spices smell fragrant and darken, about 10 seconds. Immediately stir in chopped herb mixture and chopped thyme; reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until moisture evaporates, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt, preserved lemon, 1 tablespoon oil, and drained currants. Remove from heat, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Shape mixture into 24 (11/4-inch) balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Place 4 herb balls and 4 feta cubes in each of 6 (8-ounce) jars with lids. Pour in enough oil to cover mixture (about 1/2 cup per jar). Place 1 smashed garlic clove, 1 thyme sprig, and 1 lemon peel strip in each jar. Attach lids, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before serving. Serve with crostini or crackers.
