[ID: Small flatbreads stuffed with ground 'beef' and green olives; a plate of mlouwi and a Moroccan teaset are in the background. End ID]
بطبوط معمر بالكفتة / Batbout m'mr blkefta (Moroccan stuffed flatbreads with 'beef')
Batbout—also known as toghrift (تغريفت) or mkhamer (مخامر), based on the region—are Moroccan flatbreads which usually have an interior pocket. Large batbout are often served with grilled meats or to sop up juices from tajines, while smaller ones are stuffed with various fillings. Batbout are sometimes made thicker so that a pocket does not form, and then dipped in a honey-butter syrup like baghrir; some Moroccans reserve the term "mkhamer" for this preparation.
Batbout are eaten year-round, but are especially enjoyed during Ramadan as a side dish on the ftour (فطور; fast-breaking) table, where they are stuffed with ground beef, tuna, chicken, or cold cuts. You could also serve stuffed batbout as a main with a green salad or Moroccan cooked salad.

Patreon | Tip jar
Makes about 15 small flatbreads.
Ingredients:
For the flatbread:
1 cup (120g) bread flour
1 cup (165g) semolina flour
1/2 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp sugar
About 3/4 cups water
For the filling:
3/4 cup TVP (textured vegetable protein)
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp water or vegetable stock
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp vegetarian beef stock from concentrate, or substitute more soy sauce
1 onion (yellow or red), minced or grated
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 small green bell pepper, minced
1/2 small red bell pepper, minced
Small bunch of green herbs (ربيع / rbi'): cilantro and/or parsley
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Red chili powder or hot sauce, to taste
Squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Olive oil, to fry
You may use your preferred ground beef substitute in place of the TVP; in this case, omit the water and stock concentrate.
Instructions:
For the flatbread:
1. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour and add in just enough water to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough. You may need more or less than 3/4 cup.
2. Once the dough comes together, knead it by hand for 10 minutes, or in a stand mixer with a hook attachment on medium-low for 7 minutes, until it is very smooth, soft, elastic, and tacky. Add additional water or flour as necessary.
3. Form the flatbreads. Larger flatbreads may be formed by breaking off a small handful of dough, rolling it in flour, and patting it flat until it forms a round about 1/4" thick. Small flatbreads are often made by rolling out the dough about 1/4" thick on a floured surface, then cutting circles of the desired size out with a cookie cutter or glass.
4. Set flatbreads aside in a single layer on a floured surface, cover, and allow to rest for one to two hours, until noticeably puffy.
5. Heat a large dry skillet on medium and add as many flatbreads as will fit. When they puff up slightly, flip each one to the other side. Continue to cook, turning over as necessary, until flatbreads have dark golden brown spots on each side. You may find that the flatbreads puffing up gives you room to add more to the skillet; continue in this way until all flatbreads are cooked.
Batbout breads may be kept at room temperature for a couple days at this stage, or frozen for use later.
For the filling:
1. Mix all ground spices in a small bowl. Hydrate TVP for about 10 minutes in hot water, stock concentrate, soy sauce, and a spoonful of the spice mixture.
2. Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large pan on medium-high. Add TVP and spread it out in a single layer. Allow it to brown without agitating for a few minutes before stirring it, scraping the bottom of the pan. Repeat this process a few times, adding more oil as necessary, until the TVP is deeply golden brown on all sides. Remove TVP from the pan.
3. Heat another 2 Tbsp of olive oil and fry onion for a couple minutes until softening. Add bell peppers and spices and fry for another couple minutes until spices are fragrant.
4. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add olives and herbs and mix. Return TVP to pan and mix to combine. Remove from heat. Add hot sauce and lemon juice, as desired.
To serve:
1. Cut a slit in the side of each flatbread with a small, sharp knife. Stuff with hot filling and set aside. Serve warm.

So I was on the phone with my sisters and my father and I started getting out vegetables and meat to cook dinner and my Baba said "you're not going to make a tajine now?" (it was around 10.30pm). And I said "it's alright, it's not gonna take too long, I'm just throwing everything into the pan and letting it cook". And my Baba went full offended gasping "oh hell no, if you're going to make a tajine you're going to make it right and that takes at least 45 minutes!". So I said "uuuh, tell me again how it's made, because I think I'm missing something?..."
Turns out I've been making my tajines wrong all along, but now I know how to make them right, so I'll share with you.
Moroccan tajine (for 1 person) :
- onion and garlic to taste
- meat to taste (preferably lamb)
- 2 carrots
- 1 courgette (or half if it's a big one)
- 2 potatoes
- spices
To start:
Cut the onion in thin slices and the garlic roughly. Put them in the saucepan with a bit of water, just enough to cover them but not drown them.
Let them simmer for around 15 minutes, until the onion is melted.
Tumblr media
In the meantime get the rest of your vegetables ready.
Tumblr media
Once you deem the onion sufficiently translucid, add your meat (sorry, I don't know the timing for vegetarian equivalent meat).
Tumblr media
At this point, add your spices. I personally put the classics, salt, pepper and cumin (cumin is very important), and then I add paprika, ginger and rosemary.
Tumblr media
Let the meat cook for another 15 minutes or so and add the carrots. Carrots take a long time to cook so you add them before the rest.
Tumblr media
Wait for another 20-25 minutes, cooking on slow burn and checking regularly the water. You don't want your sauce to evaporate. The water you add if necessary must be heated.
You can add the rest of your vegetables after 20 minutes, when the carrots are already starting to cook well.
Tumblr media
And now you let it all cook gently and slowly until the vegetables are ready. Don't eat immediately, it's very hot! A traditional Moroccan tajine is usually cooked in a clay dish like this, so it's dangerously hot.
Tumblr media
And that's it! Quite simple in the end, but it does take a hot minute.

Israeli Couscous with Seven Vegetables
Follow me on Instagram @RonnieVFein
It isn’t my Ashkenazi family tradition, but among North African Jews, and particularly Moroccan Jews, there’s a fabulous dish served on Rosh Hashanah: Couscous with Seven Vegetables.
I’ve cooked versions of this dish several times mostly because it sounded so delicious and also because I am always on the lookout for a good, festive and filling vegetarian entree.
This one satisfies in every way possible.
This is the recipe we like best: I used Israeli couscous rather than the traditional tiny grains of Moroccan couscous because my family likes it better. Also, I used Harissa paste (because I always have some) but you can substitute red pepper flakes or a pinch or two of cayenne pepper (or leave it out if you don’t want any pepper). My husband said he would like more raisins. Up to you…..
ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH SEVEN VEGETABLES 
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion (preferably a sweet variety such as Vidalia), sliced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 parsnip, peeled and cut in 1/2-inch slices
1 cup cut up bite sized butternut squash
1/2 teaspoon harissa paste
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2-1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into bite sized chunks
1 small zucchini, cut into bite sized chunks
1 cup raisins
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Salt to taste
1-1/2 cups Israeli couscous
Heat the olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for about 5-6 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the carrots, tomatoes, parsnip and squash and stir the ingredients. Stir in the harissa, turmeric and cinnamon. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and cook for about 15 minutes. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, raisins and chickpeas. Cook for about 10 minutes more, or until vegetables are tender. Add salt to taste. Cook the couscous according to the manufacturer’s directions. Spoon the couscous on large serving platter. Spoon the vegetables and pan fluids over the couscous.
