Moroccan Chicken with Lemon Marinade (Mkalli M'hammer)

My childhood friend has an amazing Moroccan chicken recipe called "Djaj M'Kalli and M'Hammer", "djaj" means "chicken" in Moroccan, "M'Kalli" means "fried" and "M'Hammer" means "roasted". We will marinate a whole chicken in a flavorful sauce overnight, then cook it with a bit of olive oil and onion (so not really fried), then roast it. The chicken is then served topped with caramelized onions, along with crusty bread. Yum! Definitely the best chicken you ever had!

Moroccan Style Burger - July 4th Special!

Fun Fact: Did you know that Morocco was one of the first nations to recognize the U.S. as an independent country in 1777. July 4th is the American independence day and here in the U.S. it is a day off. People go to parks with friends a family to barbeque, have a nice lunch, and in the evening there are wonderful fireworks all over the place that you can watch from the park. Today we are making a dish special for this occasion: hamburger! However, we are going to bring a Moroccan twist to it. I am going to use Moroccan ingredients and spices to bring all the unique warm flavors of Morocco in this juicy burger. I am using ground turkey but feel free to use ground chicken; it’s healthier and it is a nice change from red meat.

Mhencha with Ground Chicken and Quail Eggs

Mhencha literally means 'coiled like a snake' and it was originally a dessertfilled with almond paste and covered with honey syrup. Nowadays, youcan find many types of fillings for the mhencha, savory or sweet.A few days ago I was reading one of my favorite cooking magazines'Saveurs et Cuisine du Maroc' and it had a recipe about individualmhencha with a little quail egg in the center. I loved the idea, and Imade my own version of it by replacing the chicken liver filling theyused with my own spicy ground meat chicken filling.Quail eggs are packed with vitamins and minerals such as B1, B12, ironand phosphorus, much more than a chicken egg.I encourage you to get some quail eggs and try this wonderful recipe!
