Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, and the cumin.
- Add the bread and toss.
- Scatter the bread onto a baking sheet and bake, tossing occasionally, if necessary, until toasted.
- In the same bowl, mix the celery, chickpeas, jarlsberg, almonds, vinegar, and the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Add the bread and toss. Let stand for 1 hour.
- Season with salt and pepper if you want.
- Tip: something I haven't tried is toasting the bread in the toaster first and then dipping.
SPICY MOROCCAN CARROT SALAD
This is a twist on the traditional. This recipe seems to call for a lot of cilantro, that is no mistake. Adapted from "Plenty" by Yotam Ottolenghi.

Steps:
- Using a small wire whisk, mix together the harissa, the 5 tablespoons of olive oil and the lime juice in a small bowl. Stir in the chopped coriander, mint and a grinding of pepper. Taste and adjust to the way you like it, adding a little more lime or harissa if needed.
- Heat the remaining tsp of oil in a heavy-based pan, add the almonds and fry until golden, shaking the pan occasionally so that they are evenly coloured. Tip onto kitchen paper to drain, then season and set aside.
- Wash the Romaine then, working from the base, cut the leaves into chunky slices, stopping about a third from the top to leave the tips of the leaves intact. Tip the lettuce into a bowl and scatter over the almonds, spring onions, olives and remaining coriander leaves. Give the dressing a quick whisk then drizzle over the salad. Perfect served with Tomato & Cheese flatbread and chilled glass of Riesling.

Steps:
- Make lamb:
- Stir all ingredients in bowl to blend. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Make dough:
- Pour 1 cup warm water into large bowl; sprinkle yeast over. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes. Mix in 1/4 cup oil and salt. Combine both flours in medium bowl. Stir enough flour mixture into yeast mixture 1/2 cup at a time to form slightly sticky dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Oil large bowl; add dough and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand in warm area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb mixture; sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.
- Make charmoula:
- Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Punch dough down. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover; let stand 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out each dough piece on floured surface to 7-inch square. Top each with 1/4 of charmoula, then 1/4 of lamb, pressing to adhere to dough. Oil 2 large baking sheets. Using large spatula, transfer breads to sheets.
- Bake breads until cooked through and brown on bottom, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the best-quality tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes that are free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of colors of tomatoes for a more visually appealing salad.
- If you don't have any stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven until it is dry and crispy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or onions.
- If you like a more spicy salad, add more harissa paste or chili powder.
Conclusion:
This spicy Moroccan bread salad is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
