Moroccan Style Chicken With Carrot Orange Salad Recipes

MOROCCAN CARROT AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Serve cold. Garnish if desired with extra cinnamon.

MOROCCAN CARROT & CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl (large enough to mix the entire salad), whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing.
• To the dressing, add all of the ingredients for the salad and toss well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to a few hours. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (you might need more salt, lemon or honey, depending on the sweetness of the carrots). Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with more fresh chopped herbs. Serve cold.
• Note: To toast the almonds, preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the almonds on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy clean-up. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the almonds are golden.

MOROCCAN CARROT-BLOOD ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Quarter the carrots lengthwise and cut each length crosswise into 2-inch chunks. With a mortar and pestle or using the side of a knife, lightly crush the cumin, coriander and fennel. Spread carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil, crushed spices, 3/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne. Transfer to oven and roast, tossing occasionally, until carrots are tender and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, grate zest of 1 orange into a small bowl. Whisk in garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil.
• Slice the tops and bottoms from each orange. Stand each orange on a flat surface and slice away the rind and pith, top to bottom, following curve of the fruit. Hold oranges over a large bowl and slice away fruit between the membranes, releasing segments into the bowl.
• Toss carrots, arugula and olives into the bowl. Gently toss in dressing. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if necessary.

MOROCCAN DATE, ORANGE AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Separate the lettuce leaves and arrange them on individual serving plates. Place a small mound of the grated carrots on top.
• Peel and segment the oranges and arrange them around the carrots.
• Place the dates on top and then sprinkle with the almonds.
• Combine the lemon juice, sugar, salt and orange flower water and sprinkle on the salad.
• Serve chilled.

MOROCCAN ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Slice oranges into bite-size chunks; place into bowl with chopped dates.
• Add lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar (if using) and toss to coat fruit.
• Stir in almonds and pour orange juice over all.
• Cover and refrigerate, and serve chilled.

MOROCCAN-STYLE CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Toast the coriander and cumin in a dry pan over medium-high heat, shaking often to avoid burning, until just fragrant and slightly darker, about 3 minutes.
• Combine spices with remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, for one hour or up to 24 hours. Stir before serving.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and brown in a large saucepan over medium heat until almost cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Saute onion, garlic, carrots and celery in same pan. When tender, stir in ginger, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and turmeric; stir fry for about 1 minute, then mix in broth and tomatoes. Return chicken to pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add chickpeas and zucchini to pan and bring to simmering once again; cover pan and cook for about 15 minutes, or until zucchini is cooked through and tender. Stir in lemon juice and serve.
