7 Favorite Mediterranean Thanksgiving Recipes
One of the reasons I love Thanksgiving so much is its predictability of dishes that will delight my taste buds and fill my belly. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean and sweet potato casseroles and cranberry sauce are always on the table (even at my vegetarian Aunt Sydna’s Thanksgiving table). Traditional recipes withstanding, I still love to prepare a few Mediterranean dishes every year and I find they are always well received alongside the Turkey and gravy. I hope you enjoy these healthy Thanksgiving recipes that may even create some new traditions in the years to come.
How to Cook a Moroccan Tagine Dish without a Tagine
You don’t have to own a tagine to make an incredible tagine recipe. Here are some tips on cooking tagine recipes using other types of pots!
Chicken Tagine with Lemons and Olives
This recipe blends the spices of Morocco (cumin, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon) with a New England twist (molasses). Don’t let the long list of ingredients fool you, it’s mostly spices and the prepping should take about 20 minutes. Because liquid is released from the vegetables while cooking, the end result is more of a stew and is great served on rice.
