Moroccan Hanukkah Doughnuts
Source: San Jose Mercury News 11-27-02 - Recipe from Saffron Shores, Jewish Cooking of the Southern Mediterranean by Joyce Goldstein
2 envelopes active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lightly beaten eggs
Grated zest of 1 orange (optional)
1/4 cup canola oil (optional) or melted margarine or unsalted butter
1 1/2 to 2 cups warm water or part water part orange juice
Peanut or canola oil for deep-frying
Granulated sugar for sprinkling or warm honey for dipping
Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and gradually stir in flour and salt. Stir in eggs, zest and the 1/4 cup oil, margarine or butter, if using. Stir in just enough water or water and juice to make a soft and elastic dough. Knead well with a dough hook or by hand on a lightly floured surface until dough is elastic, smooth and shiny. Roll into a ball, place in an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Oil your hands. Divide dough into 20 balls about 2 inches in diameter.
In a deep saucepan or wok, heat 3 inches oil to 365 degrees F. Take a ball of dough, make a hole in center and pull it out to make a doughnut shape. Deep-fry a few at a time until doughnuts are puffed and golden. Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, transfer to paper towels to drain. While still hot, sprinkle with granulated sugar or dip in warm honey. Serve warm.
Makes about 20 doughnuts.

Emile Henry 2.6 Quart Tagine, FigueView This Product at Amazon
Emile Henry has developed a new technology in ceramics, which has exceptional resistance to heat, and allows these items to be used directly on the gas flame or on electric hobs. The word tajine refers to both the contents and the container. A tagine is a dish made from glazed clay, which has a lid like a pointed hat, allowing the steam to circulate inside. All recipes cooked in this type of dish are also called tagine. Moroccan cooking leaves a lot to instinct, let your imagination guide you and create your own tagine! Extremely strong and durable, it can go directly from a freezer or refrigerator, to a hot oven to the table, where it will retain the cooking heat for a very long time. 2.6-qt. capacity.

Moroccan SpiritView This Product at Amazon
The lush Moroccan Spirit emphasizes music's meditative qualities, but this imaginative mix of traditional and modern also works on a less contemplative level. The Brave--the guy behind Sacred Spirit, Indigo Spirit, and B-Tribe--traveled throughout Morocco over a five-year period with a microphone and a tape recorder, capturing the essence of both the Arab and Berber cultures. He then wove these disparate musical threads into a cohesive multicultural musical fabric using unobtrusive electronic beats and studio programming. There's even a bit of electronic groove on some of the more upbeat tracks. "Jim I Nim" and "La Mamounia" crackle with the vitality of traditional Moroccan dance music, but could easily work at hip world-music-friendly nightclubs. Mellow highlights include the somber "Music for 1001 Nights: Outro" and "Moroccan Soul," which is propelled by soulful women singers. The album's not as challenging as the more radical hybrids using North African music, but Moroccan Spirit is far more than mere background noise. --Tad Hendrickson

Dreaming in MoroccoView This Product at Amazon
Are all young people in Morocco anti-American and about to terrorize non-Muslims the world over? Some media and government pundits would have us believe so. But most young Moroccans are dreaming about finding a job--any job, anywhere--and that includes in America. They chat online, love hip-hop, and watch American movies. Or America is not even on their radar screen. Nice interviewed Moroccans aged 18-30 from different parts of the country about their daily lives, dreams and views of Americans, and found surprises and contradictions and a lot of inspiring people. This film is intended to break some of the stereotypes Americans have of Arab and Muslim youth (when they think about them at all) through many interviews and through footage of life in Morocco today, from the soccer derby of Casablanca to cybercafŽs in the old medinas.

The Nourys shoot the episodes in distinct cinematographic styles (and with distinct overtones) suited to each tale, recalling Humberto Solas's masterpiece Lucia (1969). The opener revolves around Ney (Rabie Katie), a young and kind-hearted construction worker. Cared for with much tough love by his unduly protective, blind mother (Latifa Ahrare), and emotionally intertwined with his younger sister (Samia Berrada), Ney's Achilles' heel lies in his extreme naïveté and lack of wisdom, manifest through his decision to spend his free time with a seedy, thuggish bunch of neighborhood boys. He soon allows the group to talk him into abandoning construction work in favor of organized crime, and becomes involved in a bloody skirmish with a local gangster, Faisal (Farid Regragui) that leads to tragedy for both - as Faisal's wife and young son look on, helplessly. The second episode concerns Lisa (Aimee Meditz), the American widow of Faisal's late brother, who takes in Faisal's boy, Salim (Taha Ghrabi) and his mother, gradually diminishing and then eliminating her own self-doubts about her ability to care properly for either. And in the third episode, laconic, introverted Smail (Hakim Noury) is released from prison after a 15-year incarceration for robbery, and attempts to actualize his two desires: to

Mustapha's Grains of ParadiseView This Product at Amazon
Mustapha's grains of paradise are imported to Morocco from Ghana the original home for this wonderfully aromatic and pungent spice. These little red-brown seeds have a spicy aroma, and their flavor is pungent and peppery, tasting strongly of ginger and cardamom. In Morocco they are ground and used in savory dishes, and they are most important to the spice blend Ras El Hanout.
Mustapha's Moroccan Preserved LemonsView This Product at Amazon
A classic Moroccan ingredient, preserved lemons lend an almost indecipherable flavor to a whole host of Moroccan dishes such as couscous, lamb and vegetables tagines, recipes for chicken and fish, and all manner of salads. The 'lemonness' you expect is softened and sour and salty elements combine with a hint of sweetness for an entirely new flavor experience. Mustapha's preserved lemons are cured and packed in a mild brine solution, which transforms the once bitter lemon rind into a completely different ingredient, one that you will find both enticing and indispensable, and not just for Moroccan cuisine. As Paula Wolfert - the world famous author of many cookbooks on Mediterranean cuisines - notes, "their unique pickled taste and special silken texture cannot be duplicated with fresh lemon or lime juice, despite what some food writers have said." Preserved lemons are usually rinsed to remove excess saltiness, and the rind can be blanched to remove even more of the saltiness. You can use the entire lemon if you wish, but the flesh is most often used in stews. Try slicing preserved lemons thinly and tucking them into a fragrant stew or lentil dish, bake with fish or lamb or toss in a fresh vegetable salad. A twist of preserved lemon rind will make for one incredible martini. Preserved lemons are a common, though often unrecognized, flavor in Moroccan cooking. They are also an important ingredient throughout the rest of North Africa. The distinctive texture and flavor of preserved lemons is essential to not only traditional Moroccan cooking, but also to the contemporary cooking of the some of the best chefs in the South of France, Spain, England, and right here in the USA.

Tagine: Spicy Stews from MoroccoView This Product at Amazon
Few meals are more satisfying than a hearty tagine--the rich, fragrant Moroccan stew that is served from its own elegant cooking vessel, also called a tagine. Meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables are simmered gently in the steam of the pot's conical lid, and the food, deliciously flavored with spices and fruit, remains tender and moist. In Ghillie Basan's collection of aromatic tagines you will find some of the best-loved classics of the Moroccan kitchen, such as Lamb Tagine with Prunes, Apricots, and Almonds, and the tangy Chicken Tagine with Green Olives and Lemon. Also included are less traditional but equally delectable recipes for beef and meatball tagines. If you enjoy a succulent fish dish, you can try Monkfish Tagine with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, and Olives, or Red Mullet with Lemon and Mint. For vegetarians there is a varied choice, from a sweet, syrupy tagine of Yams, Carrots, and Prunes to a summery dish of Artichoke Hearts with Peas and Saffron. *Every recipe includes suggestions for accompaniments and side dishes. *The perfect introduction to the distinctive tastes of Morocco.
Arabesque: A Taste of Morocco, Turkey, and LebanonView This Product at Amazon
In the 1960s Claudia Roden introduced Americans to a new world of tastes in her classic A Book of Middle Eastern Food. Now, in her enchanting new book, Arabesque, she revisits the three countries with the most exciting cuisines today—Morocco, Turkey, and Lebanon. Interweaving history, stories, and her own observations, she gives us 150 of the most delectable recipes: some of them new discoveries, some reworkings of classic dishes—all of them made even more accessible and delicious for today’s home cook.
From Morocco, the most exquisite and refined cuisine of North Africa: couscous dishes; multilayered pies; delicately flavored tagines; ways of marrying meat, poultry, or fish with fruit to create extraordinary combinations of spicy, savory, and sweet.
From Turkey, a highly sophisticated cuisine that dates back to the Ottoman Empire yet reflects many new influences today: a delicious array of kebabs, fillo pies, eggplant dishes in many guises, bulgur and chickpea salads, stuffed grape leaves and peppers, and sweet puddings.
From Lebanon, a cuisine of great diversity: a wide variety of mezze (those tempting appetizers that can make a meal all on their own); dishes featuring sun-drenched Middle Eastern vegetables and dried legumes; and national specialties such as kibbeh, meatballs with pine nuts, and lamb shanks with yogurt.
Claudia Roden knows this part of the world so intimately that we delight in being in such good hands as she translates the subtle play of flavors and simple cooking techniques to our own home kitchens.
