Moroccan Cigars are a delicious appetizer and a great addition to any Middle Eastern Mezze (sampler or small plates). In honor of our upcoming course, Middle Eastern Mezze, which will occur on Monday, August 23, at 7:30pm (a few spots are still available! Call 718-758-1339 to sign up!), we are sharing the following delectable recipe for Moroccan Cigars. About this class: "The lightness and emphasis on fresh ingredients makes the cuisine of the Mediterranean and middle east the perfect summer fare. Join CKCA and one of our top chef instructors for an exploration of "mezze" or small plates and tasty nibbles from a variety of countries throughout this region." Moroccan Cigars 1 onion, finely chopped 2 tbsp olive oil 1 pound ground Lamb, Beef, Veal or Chicken 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional) freshly ground pepper kosher salt 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley 5 eggs, beaten 1 lb filo pastry (or large wonton wrappers) 6oz margarine, melted Saute the onions in the olive oil until softened. Add the ground meat and cook until there is no more pink. While cooking, separate the meat with a spatula to avoid clumps from forming. Add spices, and salt and pepper to taste. When mixture is seasoned to your liking, add the beaten eggs and remove from the flame. Mix until the eggs become creamy. It will be slightly wet. Add the chopped parsley to the mixture, reserving a bit for a garnish. Cut filo pastry lengthwise into a stack of rectangles. Brush the corners of three sides of the first rectangle with melted margarine. Place a small amount (approximately 2 tsp) of the filling along one of the shorter edges (the one without margarine), and roll into a tight cigar, folding in the corners as you go. Brush the end of the cigar with more melted margarine if necessary to secure it and to keep it from opening. Place unbaked cigars on a non-stick pan or over non-stick foil. Brush tops with melted margarine. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. Cigars can also be finished by frying in olive oil until golden brown on all sides. Garnish with chopped parsley. Yields 20-30 cigars, depending on how much filling you use for each cigar.

One-of-a-kind new rug, hand-knotted by Beni M'rirt tribes in the Middle Atlas mountains of MoroccoDimensions: 8'9" x 11'9" (267 cm x 359 cm)Natural inconsistencies are inherent in these unique, handcrafted rugsOne-of-a-kind new rug — only one in stock!100% woolDimensions: 8'9" x 11'9" (267 cm x 359 cm)Fringe: measures 5.9" x 5.9" (15 cm x 15 cm)Plush pile: approximately 1.2" (3 cm)Color palette: cream, inky blackThese rugs are prized for their expressive design and construction. Their freeform edges meander and wiggle, unbound by constrictions of mass productionMotifsMoroccan rugs don’t come with a key. As with any painting or poem, their motifs have many subjective interpretations. Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s lifeArtisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animalsA simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in lifeRegion of OriginBeni M'rirt descendants live in the town of Aguelmouss, not far from Beni Ourain territory, whose influence is visible in their rugs. Originally intended for use on the floor, Beni M'rirt pieces often feature meandering geometric designs and use a tight double knot construction.Material DetailsWool, a staple in Moroccan rug design, was considered almost sacred to the Amazigh (Berber) people, whose nomadic lifestyle included sheep and goat herding. In addition to being available, wool is durable, long-lasting, and soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. In this piece, the wool pile is knotted onto a wool foundation, adding body and helping it hug the floor.Moroccan wool is locally sourced and produces a thick, strong pile that feels soft and fluffy underfoot. A small amount of shedding is to be expected from this natural fiber, but it’s worth it: its high pile is beloved for its wild, tousled texture. Dust and dirt that accumulate in your rug can erode the fibers over time. The best way to combat this is to take your rug outside and give it a good shake once a week. Depending on how large it is, you may need to recruit a friend to help. Also, be sure to get a rug pad—this helps to preserve your rug in spite of dirt. If shaking it out isn’t possible, you can vacuum it instead—just be cautious, and don’t use a rotary vacuum, because it can damage the fibers. Once or twice a month, use the suction attachment gently, from side to side. Once or twice a year, flip your rug over and vacuum the back. Once a year, let it sunbathe. Hang it in the sun for a few hours when it’s hottest, and flip it over midway through, to expose both sides to direct sunlight. This sun-bleaching helps further sanitize the wool. It’s a natural method to bleach and deodorize it. To ensure equal wear and protect against walk patterns, change your rug's direction periodically. You can also flip your rug upside-down once in awhile, and use it like that for a bit. With Moroccan rugs, the back is typically as nice as the front. Every 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed with a Moroccan rug expert. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned—this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times. In case of spills: If the spill is organic and non-oily (e.g., wine), use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot. Repeat this process until the stain is removed. If the stain is persistent, resist the urge to scrub. Scrubbing can damage the wool fibers and more easily allow the stain to penetrate. You may try using a mild detergent, such as very diluted dishwashing soap, following the same blot-and-rinse procedure. If the spill is a denser, more oily liquid, try first to scoop what you can from the surface using a spoon or perhaps some heavier paper, and then do the blot-and-rinse. If the spill is significant, non-organic and/or composed of chemical substances, or the above methods don’t work, we suggest getting the rug professionally hand-washed as soon as possible. For rugs with deeply saturated color palettes, be sure to spot-clean them in an area that can be hosed down immediately after, as some color bleeding may occur.

Islamic Garden Design and Moroccan Gardens are evocative spaces. They focus on lush green planting designs, strongly scented plants and water features. Although our climate in the UK is very different, we can learn from the Islamic style of garden design and design gardens with a Moroccan influence and style, with plants that will thrive in our own climate. The Art of the Islamic Garden: An Introduction to the Design, Symbolism and Making of an Islamic Garden is a great book to read as an introduction to Islamic garden design and Moroccan garden design. It introduces gardeners to the design, symbolic meaning and planting of the traditional Islamic garden, as well as giving some practical ideas for those interested in making one for themselves - in the United Kingdom or elsewhere with a similar climate. Another great book that will introduce you to Moroccan Garden Design is this book about Majorelle Gardens of Marrakech (Small Books on Great Gardens) The Majorelle Gardens of Marrakech were laid out in the 1920s by Louis Majorelle. Louis Marjorelle was a French architect and painter renowned for his participation in both the art nouveau and art deco movements. He gave his name to the bright shade of blue lavishly used to paint the house and ornament the garden decoration. The site has been restored and replanted by the designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge in the vibrant primary colours of the original, to which they have added their personal touch. If you can't get to visit theis wonderful garden yourself, this book is the next best thing...exploring the Gardens through photographs and text, and includes garden maps and plant lists.
THIS RUG'S STORY: This is a rug we've been holding on to for a bit! I haven't been able to part with her. She's a special find from the Zaire tribe. Her detailed pattern features motifs in little multi-colored squares, which is fairly characteristic of this tribe. I love the color combo and intricate design! ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS: Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco. COLORS/MATERIALS: Faded red, light blue, cream, brown, green, orange, pink, faded yellow, navy. Hand knotted wool. ESTIMATED AGE: Vintage - 50-60 years approx. SIZE: 64" x 96" PILE/CONDITION: Low, 1/4" PLEASE NOTE: Because this is a handmade item, there may be slight imperfections in weaving, pattern, or shape. Please note all vintage items have endured a previous life and so may have slight wear and repairs.
