Inspired by a recent vacation in Morocco, we made dinner for a group of friends (and, as with Iceland, ended up going a bit overboard with food).

Beets with cumin, carrot and orange blossom salad, pepper-tomato jam, eggplant zaalouk:

Fresh baked semolina bread:

Pastilla / B’stilla (savory pastry pigeon pie with egg and almond and cinnamon– in this case made with chicken thighs for convenience):

Lamb, olive, cardoon, and preserved lemon tagine with homemade couscous:

Good food, friends, cheer (and leftovers).
