Delicious spicy roasted veggies! The many spices are very visible in this dish. The chickpeas are a nice addition, and harden a bit after being roasted which is a nice addition to the overall texture of this dish.

Moroccan-Spiced Pork Roast image

Serving a gorgeous, fancy-looking holiday roast doesn't have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. This pork loin proves exactly that. This is fast, easy, and affordable, but when you bring it to the table, it looks like a million dollars. The beautifully warming and aromatic spices really work so well with a pork roast - I hope you give it a try soon!

Categories     Moroccan Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
5 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons honey, or as needed
8 baby potatoes
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 Anaheim chile peppers, halved and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint
1 clove garlic, finely crushed

Steps:

  • Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
  • Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
  • Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
  • Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
  • Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.

MOROCCAN-SPICED VEGETABLES



Moroccan-Spiced Vegetables image

Categories     Tomato     Vegetable     Side     Quick & Easy     Gourmet     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large onion
1 garlic clove
1 medium fennel bulb (sometimes called anise; about 1/2 pound)
1 large zucchini
2 small carrots
1 large vine-ripened tomato
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut enough onion into 1/4-inch dice to measure 1 cup and thinly slice garlic. Trim fennel stalks flush with bulb, discarding stalks. Halve bulb and core. Cut enough fennel bulb into 1/4-inch dice to measure 1 1/4 cups. Cut enough zucchini into 1/4-inch dice to measure 1 1/2 cups. Cut enough carrot into 1/4-inch dice to measure 2/3 cup.
  • Peel tomato (see below), reserving boiling water and ice water, and seed. Cut enough tomato into 1/4-inch dice to measure 3/4 cup. Add carrot to boiling water and cook 1 minute. Drain carrot in a colander. Transfer carrot to ice water to stop cooking and drain.
  • In a large heavy skillet cook onion and garlic in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add fennel, zucchini, and carrot and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add spices and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in tomato and pepper and salt to taste and cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fennel and carrot are just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Keep vegetables warm, partially covered. Vegetables may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat vegetables with 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
  • To peel tomatoes:
  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut an X in blossom end of each tomato. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch tomatoes 10 seconds. Transfer tomatoes with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Peel tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Select vegetables that are firm and colorful, such as broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes. Avoid vegetables that are too soft or watery, such as tomatoes and cucumbers.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For smaller vegetables, such as pearl onions or Brussels sprouts, you can leave them whole.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil and spices: Use a good quality olive oil, and be generous with the spices. Some popular Moroccan spices include cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of around 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir the vegetables occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best served hot, straight out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Moroccan spiced roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
