礼貌of "The Food of Morocco" by Paula Wolfert

Paula Wolfert first got Americans excited about Moroccan food back in 1973 with her groundbreakingCouscous and Other Good Food from Morocco。This month she releases an update with 100 new recipes, calledThe Food of Morocco。这里的菜 -lake troutpoached in a delicate preserved-lemon broth, spicedsquash soup—are some great ones from the book.

Lemony Poached Trout:For this dish from northern Morocco, Wolfert poaches marinated trout in a delicate broth flavored with preserved lemons.

Tomato-Caper Salad:This chunky salad gets a bit of crunch from diced green bell pepper. It's delicious served with flatbread or alongside grilled fish.

Tangier Street Bread (Kalinté):This bread is Tangier's version ofsocca, the chickpea flour-based pancake of Nice, France, but it's much thicker and more custardy, like flan.

Paula Wolfert shares her expertise and photos with the members of her Moroccan Cooking group on Facebook. Here, some of her comments:

When Bram, the first clay pot store in the US, opened inSonoma, where I live, I went in and greeted its owners with my best Bogart impression: "Of all the gin joints in all the world, you had to walk into mine!"bramcookware.com。

While I lived in Tangier, my butcher usually added a chunk of lamb-tail fat to my lamb order for蒸粗麦粉。This, he told me, would enhance the broth's texture and flavor. And it did!

Morocco is blessed with an abundance of fish, but the humblesardinehas truly put the fishing trade on the map. The next time you're at the grocery store, take a tin of sardines off the shelf and look at the back of the can. Chances are, you'll be holding a Moroccan product!
