About a year and half ago, I went mostly vegetarian. At home I rarely have meat or fish, with the exception of bacon—the ultimate perfect ingredient for beans and soups; and when I eat out, I generally eat fish. As a friend pointed out some time ago, I'm a wimpy vegetarian, and it's a balance that seems to be working pretty well for me. I keep a stash of cooked legumes and grains in both the fridge and the freezer, and am always experimenting with them. One thing I've found it that these dishes are not only tasty, but can also be really inexpensive to make. This is one of my most recent dishes I've fallen in love with that incorporates the flavors of Morocco. Not that I've actually BEEN there, but how I imagine it. The spice mix is a key ingredient to the dish, and is a nice one to keep around for sprinkling on other things too.
