MOROCCAN INSPIRED CARROT AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH PORK CHOPS



Moroccan Inspired Carrot and Chickpea Salad With Pork Chops image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon harissa (North African spice available in the International section of the grocery store)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
salt and pepper
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
6 large fresh mint leaves, chopped
4 pork chops (bone-in)
1/2-1 serrano chili, thinly sliced

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.

GRILLED CORN SUMMER PASTA SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Corn Summer Pasta Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: corn, olive oil, dried orecchiette pasta, cherry tomato, red onion, avocado, fresh cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, pepper

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears corn
olive oil, for brushing
8 oz dried orecchiette pasta, cooked according to package instructions
2 cups cherry tomato
½ cup red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 ½ cups fresh cilantro
⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

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



Moroccan Chickpea Salad image

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.

Categories     Beans

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chickpeas
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans artichoke hearts
1/2 onion
1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange is nice)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
2 1/2 teaspoons cayenne powder

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.

Conclusion:

Moroccan grilled corn and chickpea salad is a vibrant and flavorful dish that combines the sweetness of corn, the creaminess of chickpeas, and the freshness of vegetables.
