From the rich tagines of Morocco to the harissa-spiced dishes of Tunisia, we've rounded up our favorite North African recipes.
Source: Cal Peternell's Twelve Recipes The original recipe calls for chopped or grated tomatoes or 1/2 cup of roasted tomato puree. I find the canned, crushed tomatoes to work just as well. If you don't feel like using dried chickpeas and cooking them from scratch, you can use canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed. You'll need 6 cups (about three 15-oz cans). Peternell suggests a few other serving ideas: croutons, a poached egg or hard-boiled egg, a sprinkling of ground cumin, oil and capers. I keep it simple and swirl in some harissa, which is now readily available at most markets. You also can make your own: See Simple Homemade Harissa. Peternell offers two simple recipes as well: Make a paste with 2 tablespoons paprika and 3 tablespoons hot water. Add 2 teaspoons crushed garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil, a splash of vinegar, and, if you wish, ground cumin and cayenne. Mix together 3 tablespoons sambal oelek, 1 to 2 cloves crushed garlic, and 6 tablespoons olive oil.
