EasyThick, creamy blended avocado with milk and honey, a beloved Moroccan café staple especially in Marrakech.
Ingredients
- 600g chicken thighs
- 2 cups vermicelli noodles
- a handful of finely chopped red onion
- 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- dried apricots, to taste
Instructions
- 1
Combine the couscous and water in a saucepan, blender, or pitcher, stirring well.
- 2
Add the ground cumin and preserved lemon, stirring gently so their flavor infuses the mixture.
- 3
Heat gently over low heat (or blend, or steep, depending on the drink) until well combined and fragrant, about 0 mins.
- 4
Strain through a fine sieve to remove any solids, if needed.
- 5
Sweeten to taste with honey, adjusting gradually until the balance feels right.
- 6
Chill in the refrigerator, or pour straight over ice, depending on whether it is served cold or hot.
Tips
•If serving warm, gently reheat just before pouring rather than letting it come to a boil.
•Adjust the sweetness gradually, tasting as you go — you can always add more honey, but you cannot take it away.
•Make a big batch and keep it chilled in the fridge — the flavor often deepens after a few hours.
