Spicy Green Sauce
Our new love of North African flavors has led us to discover a unique blend of spices and ingredients. This Spicy Green Sauce from City Kitchen,called chermoula offers just that. A slightly spicy pesto-like sauce that infuses the heat of serrano peppers, with the very bright and green flavors of lots of fresh cilantro and scallions, and finishes with a hint of tart lemon zest. We paired this sauce initially with our North African Chicken, but are certain it would be delicious with fish, beef, or lamb.

Shark Kebabs {aka Shark Bites}
Today I was given the challenge of coming up with a Shark recipe. Yes I said Shark…as in Jaws (but smaller, teeth removed). What came home from the store was a fresh Shark fillet and a vote of confidence, “I know you’ll come up with something good…and shouldn’t everyone try shark at least once?!” And so the recipe research began. After reading many I began to see a pattern….powerful punchy flavors. Not sure what we’re covering up but I’m all in. Welcome Shark Kebabs with Orange-Avocado Salsa served over Spiced Cashew Rice. Thank you Epicurious and Food & Wine for these great recipes.

North African Lamb Kebabs {with Cilantro Mint Pesto}
North African Lamb Kebabs sounded so intriguing to me. Traditionally we think of kebobs made up of ‘hunks’ of meat and/or vegetables. These kebobs are made with ground lamb that’s blended with heavenly herbs and spices. I came across a recipe in one of my cooking magazines and the ingredients list was right up our alley (and mostly on hand): cumin, coriander, paprika, fresh cilantro, mint, oregano, ginger, garlic…..can’t you just smell it.
