MOROCCAN PITA BREAD (BATBOUT) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Activate yeast by combining it with 1/4 cup of warm water and a teaspoon of sugar. Set mixture aside until it's frothy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine flours, remaining sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Add yeast mixture, oil, and the rest of the water, and mix to form a soft, manageable dough.
• Knead dough in a mixer with a dough hook, or by hand on a lightly floured surface, for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. The dough should be quite soft but not sticky. If it's too sticky to work with, add a little flour one tablespoon at a time. If dough feels a bit stiff, work in additional water one tablespoon at a time.
• Divide dough into smooth balls the size of small plums and let rest, covered, on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes.
• Roll out each ball into a thin circle about 1/8 inch thick. Set rounds of dough on a clean, dry towel and cover. Leave to rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until light and puffy.
• Heat a very lightly oiled cast-iron skillet, griddle or other nonstick pan over medium heat. Allow pan to get quite hot.
• Cook batbout in batches, turning several times, until golden brown on both sides. The browning will be a bit uneven since bread puffs up as it cooks, but that's okay.
• Transfer cooked batbout to a rack or towel-lined basket to cool. It's fine to stack them while they're warm.

PITA SALAD SANDWICHES WITH TAHINI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until blended.
• Slice an edge from each pita bread, and carefully open pockets.
• In a medium bowl, combine feta, tomatoes, and spinach. Add 1/4 cup of sauce, and toss gently to mix. Spoon the mixture into each pocket.
• Divide sprouts, cucumber, and avocado among the sandwiches. Drizzle each with about 1 Tbsp of tahini sauce.
• Serve right away.

SALAT TANGIERS (MOROCCAN RECIPE FOR ZWT-9)

Steps:

• Place the couscous & salt in lrg bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover it by ¼-inch. Cover tightly w/cling-film & allow to stand for 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the carrots, bell pepper & beans in a saucepan w/enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil & cook for 8-10 min until just tender.
• Meanwhile, mix together all dressing ingredients in a sml bowl.
• Drain the cooked vegetables well & add to the cooked couscous, mixing well w/a fork.
• Add onions, raisins & almonds. Then pour in the dressing & toss well. Chill for at least 1 hr before serving.
• NOTE: I can look into my creative cooking future & foresee that I may eventually play w/the flavor profile of this recipe. Using the salad dressing as the flavor mechanism would allow for different fruit flavors & even a sweet version that adds sugar or honey to the mix. Feel free to use your own imagination.

PORCHETTA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together sage, rosemary, oregano, garlic, fennel pollen, salt, pepper, and lemon zest; set aside.
• Place pork belly skin side up on a clean work surface. Using a very sharp knife, score skin in a diamond-shape fashion. Turn pork belly over so that it is skin-side down. Season flesh side of belly with salt and pepper and half of the herb mixture.
• Place pork loin on a cutting board. Holding the blade of the knife parallel to board, cut along the length of the pork loin, but not all the way through. Unfold so that it opens like a book. Place butterflied loin on top of pork belly. Season with salt and pepper and spread with remaining herb mixture.
• Roll pork away from you into a cylindrical shape; tie with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to make snug.
• Season skin with salt and pepper. Transfer to refrigerator, uncovered, so that it air-dries for 3 days.
• Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a rack and transfer pork to rack. Preheat oven to 500 degrees with a rack set in the lower third of the oven.
• Transfer pork, skin side up, to oven and cook until skin begins to crackle, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of roast reaches 135 degrees, about 2 1/2 hours, tenting with foil if necessary. Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.
• Make the salsa verde: In a medium bowl, mix together shallot, parsley, chives, vinegar, oregano, and salt; whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Stir in mustard and lemon juice, set aside.
• Make the sandwich: Cover split sides of rolls with salsa verde. Place 3 porchetta slices and some of the crackling on one half of each of the rolls; top with arugula; and sandwich together with remaining half.
