Chickpea, Carrot and Date Tajine
Moroccan food is to die for. I love it for its complex mix of earthy and spicy flavours. And as for vegetarian (note: this dish is vegan and gluten-free) options - well, Moroccan food is the bomb-diggity. (Yeah I know that phrase is totally passé. Just stay with me here.) I've had tajine (also spelled tagine) before and I've tried a few different recipes. But the taste combo of rich fire-roasted tomatoes, accompanied by the earthiness of the chickpeas and carrots is divine, and then you get little traces of sweetness from the softened stewed dates.

(Yes, I really want this book!) I need your help. All of you knowledgeable foodies out there! As I mentioned in last week's What I Ate Wednesday post, my naturopath has suggested I try out food combining to see if some minor symptoms I am having go away. I have looked into food combining and while it confuses me quite a bit, I am willing to give it a try. However, before I get into it I thought I would try a couple of other experiments first. I'm going to try giving up gluten for 3 weeks, and then introduce it back into my diet, and then try giving up dairy for 3 weeks. I could try them both at the same time but then I won't know which was bothering me (if any are).
