Easy Sweet and Savoury Moroccan-Style Meatballs

January 21, 2019 Recipe Index

Sweet & Savoury Moroccan-Style Meatballs

Meatballs are one of those things that as a kid (or as an adult) I could not never get enough of. I could have them everyday and still enjoy them. I’m speaking from experience. I had spaghetti and meatballs every night for an entire summer. All I remember feeling is happiness.

I’m hoping that this is what you will feel when you try these Sweet & Savory Moroccan Spiced Meatballs.

Moroccan-Style Beet Soup

How’s it going my friends?

I really enjoy this time of the year (Fall). The weather is just perfect, not too hot not too cold. Don’t get me wrong, the summers in Montreal are great, but I like the Fall far better. During the Fall, I usually sleep better, I sweat a lot less and I cook lots of yummy things.

Like soup.

The Inspiration: Moroccan Beet Salad & Borscht

I know, at first glance, you’re probably wondering: “what does Borscht have to do with some Moroccan recipe?”

The answer: a lot more than you think.

My wife Lea enjoys Borscht a lot and as you probably suspect, she’s the one who introduced me to it. I had no idea what it was, all I know is I loved everything about it.

Borscht also felt very familiar to me, I never had a beet soup before, but all I remember is this great warm feeling that was very familiar to me.

Then I remembered the classic Moroccan beet salad that I used to love as a kid. A light went on in my head and I had to come up with a recipe that would perfectly combine the two.

And thus, the Moroccan-Style Beet Soup was born.

Knowing that beets are quite sweet, I balanced that sweetness with a touch of spice to get that typical Moroccan sweet and savory vibe.

However, if you can’t handle the heat, you can of course lower the amount of cayenne. It also goes without saying that you can tweak and change this recipe as you wish to fit your own taste and preferences.

Maakouda – Moroccan Potato Fritters

How’s it going my friends? I hope you’re having a great week and that you’ve had a stellar summer.

We are getting closer and closer to the official beginning of Autumn and if you’re like me, that means that you’re either in school or someone in your family is back in school.

Today’s recipe is one that reminds me very much of my high school years, in Meknes. I spent 3 wonderful years in that fantastic city and Maakouda is one of the many souvenirs I have kept.

Moroccan Spiced Potato Leek Soup – Mom’s Recipes

One of the most bizarre relationships I have with food has to be the one  I have with soup. I don’t particularly love it, yet, some soups are among my favourite foods of all time. I don’t really know how to describe this. All I know is, of all the soups my mom has ever made for us, this Moroccan Potato Leek Soup stands head and shoulder above the rest.

This is why it deserves to be on this blog.

Zesty Moroccan Carrot Salad – Vegan Recipe

Salad is quite possibly one of the most misunderstood dishes in the world. When I wrote salad, you probably thought “Lettuce” or “Something green” or “Ugh”. I thought all of those things actually. The funny thing is, Moroccan cuisine is not really big on lettuce. While Moroccans eat a lot of salad, very few of them have any greens. Zaalouk anyone? This is a recipe that goes to show that salad can be exciting, filling, and immensely satisfying. This Zesty Moroccan Carrot Salad is unlike anything you have ever had and will change your mind about carrots.

Word.

Fact: I honestly thought that adding the word salad in the title was going to bring down the value of this dish. Ridiculous.
