Falafil and Two Curries

Meal 1:Falafil Croquette, Cous Cous with Sesame and Apricot, Moroccan Carrot Salad


• Heat the croquettes in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes, or until hot. Serve with some yogurt and or tahini on top if you like.
• Serve the carrots chilled, but season with salt, as we omitted this ingredient to prevent wateriness.
• Serve the cous cous at room temp, or heat in a sauté pan with a little oil and then a splash of water to heat it through.

Meal 2: Curried Potatoes and Spinach, Dal Makhani, Kichirri

WARNING! Indian foods contain whole spices such as peppercorn or cardamom. Chew carefully and avoid them. Don’t worry about the small spices.
• Heat the curry and dal separately, in saucepans. Do not over heat the curry or the spinach will overcook.
• Heat the kichirri in a sauté pan with a generous splash of oil. Stir the rice mixture, add a splash of water to steam it through. Transfer the kichirri to serving plates and serve the curry and dal atop the kichirri.
