MORROCCAN FEAST

TURMERIC SPICED EGGPLANT & GARBANZO BEANS SERVED OVER COUSCOUS! WITH WARM APRICOT AND WALNUT COMPOTE SERVED OVER PEARS! MY TOP 5 FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THIS MEAL: 1. THE RAISINS IN THE EGGPLANT DISH SET OFF THE GARLIC AND TURMERIC - YUMMERS! 2. THE COUSCOUS ABSORBED THE TOMATO-BASED SAUCE - YUMMERS! 3. THIS MEAL WAS TOTALLY VEGETARIAN (VEGAN, IN FACT) NO GUILT - YUMMERS! 4. WARM APRICOT COMPOTE WAS EASY TO MAKE, ONCE THE HONEY, LEMON AND ORANGE SAUCE REDUCED IT WAS NOT TOO SWEET, NOT TOO SOUR - YUMMERS! 5. NICE BRIGHT COLORS AND ALL THE VEGETABLES KEPT THEIR SHAPE - NOT TOO SOGGY - YUMMERS!
