MOROCCAN INSPIRED CARROT AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH PORK CHOPS
An unlikely pairing, but I had to post this Sunset Magazine recipe as it looked so delicious. Lamb chops could definitely be used in this dish to make it more authentically Moroccan. *Make sure you use fresh mint -- it really makes a big difference. The recipe suggests getting the pan "ripping" hot before you add the chops -- that will give them their nice brown crust.

Steps:
- Whisk together lemon juice, zest, honey, harissa and cumin in a medium bowl. Add 1/4 ccup oil and season with salt and pepper. Add carrots, chickpeas, parsley and mint and toss until well combined. Set aside.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy stainless steel or a cast-iron skillet, large enough to hold chops in a single layer, over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Add pork chops and sear, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook until just cooked through, 1 - 3 minutes, depending upon the thickness of chops.
- Spoon half of carrot and chickpea salad onto a platter. Arrange pork chops on top and spoon remaining salad over them. Sprinkle with chile slices.

Steps:
- Microwave the corn on a microwave-safe plate on high for 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and grip the corn with a dish towel. Then cut off the bottom end with a serrated knife. Slide the corn out of the husk. It should come out fairly easily with none of the silky string mess.
- Brush the corn with olive oil, then place on a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the kernels are slightly charred.
- Insert the narrow end of an ear of corn into the center hole of a bundt pan. Holding the corn steady with one hand, saw off the kernels with a serrated knife. The kernels will fall into the pan for easy collection.
- Make the cilantro-lime vinaigrette: Combine the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, add the pasta, corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and vinaigrette, and mix until well-combined.
- Enjoy!

MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SALAD
Marinated, slightly spicy Middle Eastern-style chickpea salad. I bought something like this at a fancy grocery store but peeked at the ingredients and decided I could make it at home. It can be healthy, too, and it's easy to make.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain chickpeas.
- Drain artichoke hearts and cut into smaller pieces.
- Chop onion and bell pepper.
- Whisk together oil, vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, and cayenne.
- Pour dressing over vegetables and stir to coat.
- Allow salad to marinate for a few hours or overnight.
- I do not add salt. Canned vegetables are salty, anyway (which is one reason I rinsed the chickpeas), but since the dressing is vinegar, lemon juice, and cayenne, you really don't need to add any salt.
- You can also use fresh or dried-and-cooked chickpeas instead, of course.

Tips:
- Select the Freshest Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Look for sweet corn on the cob, plump chickpeas, and ripe tomatoes.
- Grill the Corn Perfectly: To get a smoky, charred flavor, grill the corn over medium-high heat until the kernels are tender and slightly blackened.
- Cook the Chickpeas Properly: For a creamy texture, simmer the chickpeas in a flavorful broth until they are tender but still hold their shape. You can use canned chickpeas for convenience.
- Make a Robust Dressing: The dressing is crucial for bringing all the flavors together. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, and fresh herbs for a bright and tangy taste.
- Assemble the Salad Carefully: Layer the grilled corn, chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a serving bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after assembling. You can garnish it with additional herbs or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
