MEDITERRANEAN VEGGIE PACKETS

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 450 degrees F or grill to medium-high.
• CENTER half of the cauliflowerettes, broccoli and carrots on each sheet of Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine olive oil, garlic, oregano and balsamic; pour over vegetables on both sheets of foil. Top each with 2 ice cubes.
• BRING up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal making one large packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• BAKE 20 minutes on a cookie sheet in oven OR GRILL 9 to 11 minutes in covered grill.

MOROCCAN VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole or saucepan and gently fry the onion and leeks for 10-15 mins until well softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 2 mins more.
• Stir in the ground coriander, cumin, chilli and cinnamon. Cook for 2 mins, stirring occasionally. Season with plenty of ground black pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes, peppers, chickpeas, lentils, sweet potatoes, orange peel and juice, half the nuts and 400ml/14fl oz water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 mins, adding a splash of water if the stew looks too dry, and stir occasionally until the potatoes are softened but not breaking apart.
• Remove the pan from the heat and ladle the stew into bowls. Scatter with coriander and the remaining nuts and top with yogurt, if using.

ROASTED MOROCCAN-STYLE VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray two rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the oil, lemon juice, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, coriander, cinnamon, cumin and ginger in a large bowl. Add the onions, eggplant, sweet potatoes and tomatoes and toss well to fully coat the vegetables. Divide among the prepared baking sheets and arrange in a single layer. Roast until the sweet potatoes and eggplant are lightly browned and fully softened, 50 to 55 minutes, rotating trays and switching from top to bottom halfway through.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl. Toss with the apricots, cilantro and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Season to taste with salt.

MOROCCAN VEGETABLES WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot heat oil over medium high heat. Stir in the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in spices and cook until aroma is released. Stir in carrots, potatoes and squash and toss to coat. Cook vegetables for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and water. If necessary add enough water so that all the vegetables are submerged. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Stir in zucchini and continue to cook for 20 more minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and season with salt and pepper, Tabasco and cilantro. Serve hot with couscous and warm pita bread.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut chicken breast in half, removing and discarding cartilage in center. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Add onions, celery, tomatoes, zucchini, raisins, parsley, and mint and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together stock, ginger, garlic, curry powder, chutney, 3/4 teaspoon salt, red pepper, and cornstarch. Pour over chicken-vegetable mixture and toss to combine.
• Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover again, and set aside until ready to serve.
• Fold the pieces of aluminum foil in half crosswise and unfold. Place half the chicken-vegetable mixture on one of the pieces of foil, 2 to 3 inches from the fold. Refold along the crease, enclosing mixture, and make a double 1/2-inch fold along the 3 open sides. Repeat process to make the second packet. Place both packets on a baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes. Divide couscous between 2 bowls. Open packets, arrange contents over couscous, and serve immediately.
