Sunny tofu with taste from Morocco

Forget everything about tasteless tofu, this is the good stuff! Super-easy to make but you need a bit of time as the onions really should be slow baked soft to blend nicely with the rest.

Homemade preserved lemons

Marinated artichoke heart with preserved lemons

This must be one of the easiest recipes I have made. But also one of the most delicious! Perfect to have ready in the refrigerator. Eat it just as it is or combine it with a salad, an omelet, a BBQ, fish or meat. The marinated artichoke heart with preserved lemons are fantastic with whatever!
