The Morocca-thon

4


Welcome to the Morocca-thon – 7 recipes for 7 days to celebrate the launch of our brand new show, Jenny Morris Cooks Morocco (and to remind ourselves there’s more to Moroccan cuisine than just tagines).

From 30-minute meals to comforting roasts, we have put together this Morocca-thon menu of spice-packed meals to see you through the most tongue-tingling week of your life. We'd love for you to cook along with us every day and upload your photos to the recipe pages. We'll be posting up the best photos on our Facebook and Twitter pages, so keep your eyes peeled.

Tune in to Jenny Morris Cooks Morocco from 25th June at 7pm.

Monday: Moroccan Chicken



Banish those Monday blues with a 30-minute supper of pan-fried chicken with preserved lemon, olives and no less than six different kinds of herbs.

Tuesday: Aubergine Courgette Salad



Tuesday’s warm salad just needs a sizzle on the grill and a nutty Tahini dressing drizzled over the top.

Wednesday: Jebli Fisherman's Pot



All Wednesday’s dinner requires is for you to massage spicy harissa paste into some fish, then allow it to steam with fennel, tomatoes and lemon.

Thursday: Aubergine Beef Kefta



A special dinner doesn’t have to take hours and this gorgeous kefta recipe proves it. Simply wrap your beef kefta with thin slices of aubergine, simmer in a quick date and tomato sauce, then serve on a bed of couscous.

Friday: Seafood Soup



Get Friday’s Moroccan-inspired meal on the table in just 45 minutes. All you need to do is grab a selection of seafood and fish from your local fishmonger or supermarket, get home and sizzle up a storm. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and chunks of crusty bread.

Saturday: Saffron Lamb with Prunes



Treat a crowd to this meaty casserole of the most intense flavours. Heady cumin, cinnamon and cardamom play a key part in balancing the flavours in this dish. All you need to do is combine the ingredients and leave to simmer whilst you treat yourself to a Saturday night tipple.

Sunday: Buttered Harissa Chicken



Trade in your traditional Sunday roast for this stress-free centrepiece. Smother the chicken in Moroccan butter, paprika, rosemary and more. Just don’t kiss anyone for the rest of the day – this bird is rubbed with a whopping 10 cloves of garlic!
