Moroccan Flavored Pork Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute the cauliflower, carrots and onion in oil for 10 minutes. Add the zucchini, water, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in garbanzo beans and tomatoes; simmer 5 minutes longer. Serve over rice if desired.

Steps:

• Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
• Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
• Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
• Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
• Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
• Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
• Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, chile powder, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, caraway, black pepper and oil, pressing out any lumps of sugar. On a baking sheet, rub the mixture all over the pork and let sit, covered at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Return to room temperature.
• Light a grill and oil the grates. Grill the pork over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135°, about 9 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes, loosely tented with foil before cutting into thick slices. Serve with warm grilled naan, haloumi and yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In bag, combine flour and cumin. Add pork cubes, shake to coat.
• In 4 quart Dutch oven, add oil and heat on medium, sear 1/3 pork and 1/3 onion, remove to platter, repeat twice. Remove excess oil. Return all pork onion mixture to Dutch oven.
• Stir in rest. Bring mixture to low boil.
• Cover, roast for 80 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender.
• Sprinkle each serving with cilantro or flat leaf parsley, and top with yogurt.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep cast iron skillet (or a cast iron dutch oven) over medium high heat. Cube the belly with skin on and salt the meat. Add meat to oil and brown on each side. Work in batches if your skillet is small - don't crowd the meat. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
• Add diced onions to the skillet and fry in the oil until they are beginning to brown (ie past translucent but not burnt). Add ginger and garlic and stir up and fry for one more minute.
• Add wine and stock and deglaze pan (scrape up the browned bits into the liquid). Add tomato, spices, safron, honey and salt. Taste for saltiness - do not undersalt. The liquid will not be flavorful or even tasty at this stage so only judge the salt. Add the yoghurt slowly and stir as you add (this prevents it from curdling). Reduce the liquid if it looks like a lot (if you reduce too much, no worries, you'll add back just the right amount of water in the next step).
• Pour the liquid from the skillet into your slow cooker. Add the meat with any juices from the bowl into your slow cooker. Add the quartered small onions and the dried mushrooms. Add water to almost cover the meat and stir the liquid. Cook on low setting for 9 hours. I do all the prep the night before and then refrigerate the uncooked food in the insert until I'm ready to place it in the base the next morning and turn it on. When I get home I have a gorgeous fragrant meal.
• Serve ladled over couscous and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish, heat the oil and brown the sausages with the onions for 10 mins until golden. Add the garlic and spice mix with 75ml water to prevent them from burning, and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Add the dates and tomatoes, mix well, then spread out onto 2 plates to cool before pouring into a freezer bag and freezing for up to 3 months.
• To cook from frozen, put the stew into a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish with all but 2 tbsp of the stock. Cover with a lid and gently heat to defrost for 25 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Once the stew is fully defrosted, mix the cornflour with the reserved stock and pour into the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins until thickened and piping hot. Serve with mashed potato.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the lentils, bay leaves, and whole garlic cloves. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer lentils until they are cooked but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Place lentils in a bowl; toss with olive oil, thyme, and 1 tablespoon chopped garlic. Remove bay leaves and whole garlic cloves; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in chili flakes, cinnamon, cumin, and coriander and cook until fragrant. Add garlic, onion, celery, zucchini, red and yellow peppers, and squash; cook 3 or 4 minutes.
• Mix in the lentils, tomatoes, chickpeas, and vegetable stock. Raise heat to medium-high until stew just begins to boil; reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until squash is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the chopped parsley. Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with a dollop of yogurt, some chopped mint, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet and stir-fry the diced pork in two batches until browned.
• Add ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin and paprika, and stir fry a further minute to cook the spices.
• Add chili sauce, squash, spinach, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and chicken stock, and mix well.
• Transfer contents of skillet to a casserole dish, cover tightly and cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
• Check once or twice during cooking that the liquid has not evaporated, and add a little more stock if necessary.
• When the meat and squash are tender, stir through the fresh cilantro and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Combine cinnamon, cumin, salt, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, turmeric, and curry powder in a large bowl.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion in the butter until soft and just beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in kale and spice mixture; cook until kale begins to wilt and spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the vegetable broth into the pot. Stir garbanzo beans, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, lentils, apricots, and honey, into the broth; bring to boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until vegetables and lentils are cooked and tender, about 30 minutes. Season stew with black pepper.
• Dissolve cornstarch in water; stir into stew and simmer thickened, about 5 minutes.
