Moroccan Potato Salad
Here we have a traditional Moroccan salad that serves great beside any meal.I particularly enjoy serving this Moroccan Potato Salad with broiled or grilled fish, or something like smoked mackerel or Kebabs, you can even throw in some more veggies that suit you. This salad is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and it's a lower-calorie carb dish if your a carb lover trying to cut down ;)
Ingredients
- 5 Medium potatoes washed & boiled in the skin then peeled and cut into small cubes
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt to taste
- 2 cloves Garlic grated
- 1/4 cup Chopped red onion optional (any onion works well)
- 1/2 cup Chopped parsley optional
- 1/2 Juice of a fresh lemon
- 1-2 tbsp Moroccan Vinegar white vinegar works just as well
- 2-3 tbsp Olive oil you can use more if needed
Instructions
- Wash and boil the potatoes until cooked but not overdone, we want them to maintain shape.
- When cooked leave the potatoes in cold water for a few mins for easy peeling.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small uniform chunks
- In a large frying pan mix the ingredients to prepare a dressing then heat over a medium flame just enough to infuse the garlic flavour. (some like to add the onions too, some like to leave them raw & add them at the end) It's entirely your preference.
- Turn off the heat and then mix in the potatoes until well smothered in the vinegarette
- This dish can be served warm or cold and is always even tastier the next day ;)
