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.

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!
