FRUITY AFRICAN SPICE RUB



Fruity African Spice Rub image

I got this for xmas from family and now i want to replicate it. As I didn't have totally dried apricots or orange oil, I figured I could just add them to the cooking liquid. I'm not sure how it would store with the orange peel or soft dried apricot in it, so i suggest adding them at the end before you cook it. Anyways here it is. i use this in my Morrocan style dishes

LEFTOVER MOROCCAN STYLE LAMB AND BEEF SPICY COUS COUS



Leftover Moroccan Style Lamb and Beef Spicy Cous Cous image

I used the leftovers from my pot roast lamb for this I removed the remaining meat from the bone of the lamb. You could make this with just beef but the remaining juice and fat from the roast lamb tastes nice in the stew, you can use lamb beef or whatever you wish in this. I cooked this in the same enamel pot I used for the lamb. If your not making this with leftovers you may want to add a tablespoon of olive oil to the mix. I used my fruity African spice rub in this please see recipe on zaar

NORTH AFRICAN DRY RUB

A spicy dry rub that is great on grilled chicken. Rub onto the chicken ( I use a whole chicken on a spit, or split chickens cooked on indirect heat on the grill) and cook using your favorite method. Can be put on chicken up to 6 hours ahead of cooking time, and refrigerated. Drizzle with some olive oil before grilling, if desired.

NORTH AFRICAN MEAT RUB

Moroccan and Tunesian flavors in this rub. Use on poultry, lamb, beef or pork, two to three hours at room temperature before grilling is the normal way of using this paste. It has strong spicy flavors and I prefer to use it mixed with yogurt or buttermilk, for marinating or basting. If you have roasted garlic paste use that instead of the garlic cloves, use 1 tablespoon. The original recipe used three tablespoons of salt, too salty for our tastes but feel free to add more salt or even reduce it to less. This will keep in the fridge for up to six months.

BO-KAAP CAPE MALAY CURRY POWDER - SOUTH AFRICAN SPICE MIXTURE



Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Curry Powder - South African Spice Mixture image

My take on Cape Malay curry powder; I devised this when I finally finished my precious box of this type of curry powder, that had been sent to me in a Herbs and Spices swap by Zurie! I checked the ingredients list and finally after a little trial and error, I came up with this, and it is a pretty close match! Influenced by Malay cuisine, Cape/Malay curry powder/masala is a blend of sweet and pungent spices to include cloves, cardamon, fennel, mustard, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, a little chilli and black pepper. A curry powder/masala of a mild heat yet full of the flavours you expect in Indian curry. This curry spice mix is wonderful in all types of curries, but especially authentic Cape Malay style cuisine, and of course curries.
