Moroccan Spiced Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, cinnamon, and paprika; set aside.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Place the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil; swirl to coat wok, and heat until just starting to smoke. Add the potatoes and reserved spices, and saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes just begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil, red onion, and garlic, and continue to saute, stirring frequently until potatoes are golden, about 8 minutes more. Add the raisins, and stir to combine. Remove from heat; stir in the lemon juice and dill. Serve garnished with lemon zest and mint.

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:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Toss carrots in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Transfer to a large roasting pan and arrange in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven, turning often, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl.
• Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix.
• Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavours to blend.
• After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature).
• Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks).
• Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!).
• Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking.
• Serve hot and enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel, then thick slice the potatoes. Par-boil them until softened (roughly 15 minutes), but not completely cooked. Drain, then shake in the pan to get rough bits all over them.
• Shallow fry in olive oil with a bit of butter (you might try experimenting with different oils). As you do that sprinkle liberally with Morrocan seasoning and a bit of chicken chippy salt. Turn over and sprinkle again.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and sauté until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cumin, and paprika and sauté for 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, water, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
• Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the liquid is reduced to almost a glaze, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, and olives and stir gently to combine. Taste; you may want to add a pinch of salt or squeeze of lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with the parsley and almonds. Serve at room temperature.
