Organic Diner Party- Moroccan

For the first meeting of my Organic Diner Party we selected a Moroccan theme. Since this was my very first experience cooking Moroccan, I set off on a Google search for recipes. I found a great overview of Morocan cuisine here.

I decided to cook lentils, khobz, oranges and mint tea. A guest prepared a delicious morrocan stew. All dishes were vegetarian and so fragrant and flavorful.

Khobz is a traditional Moroccan bread. I found this recipe and youtube video instructional. However, I substituted the Sesame/ Anise Seeds for Flax Seeds and developed this Wheat Kobz With Flax Seed recipe. My bread dough was wet, so I did add flour throughout the kneading process.

These oranges were wonderful, the kids devoured them! I will definitely makethese Honey- Cinnamon Oranges again.

The Mint Tea I served was very simple. I just brewed a pot of green tea and then added a bunch of fresh mint to the water and served with fresh honey. Moroccan mint tea is a traditional cultural sign of hospitality and friendship. How perfect for a diner party?

This is the amazing stew my friend brought. The recipe can be found here Make- Make- Ahead Vegetarian Moroccan Stew
