Moroccan Dinner

Too tired to post the full recipes or photos, but wanted to make a note of these 3 excellent Moroccan recipes. Everything pairs so well together. Much of it can be made-ahead, making it the perfect meal for company.

Moroccan Carrots
... I served these warm, but they taste great at room temperature too

Moroccan chicken
... I left out the prunes, browned the chicken in a pan with olive oil and then put everything in the crock pot for 4 hours to slow-cook. Instead of using lemon and orange rinds, I just set everything on top of a bed of full wheels of lemon and orange in the bottom of the slow cooker. The mint and lemon juice before serving is a must!


Moroccan Chickpea Barley Salad

... One of my fave salad recipes of all time. This is only the second time I've made it, but I simply adore the fresh flavours.

Potatoes
Tonight, I also added roasted potatoes to the meal as 'filler' to make sure everyone was nice and full... used my standard olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika... yum :-)
