Nabila got this recipe from her mother, and showed me how to cook it.

Chicken with Trid---melts in your mouth

Ingredients:
1 kg. trid, set aside
1.5-2 kg chicken, cut in quarters and washed in lemon juice and water

In a bowl, add the following::
3 onions, finely cut

1 tomato, grated

1 small handful parsely and cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic

Place the chicken and the sliced vegetables in a pressure cooker, and add the following:
1 tsp ginger

1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp salt

Add about 1 small Moroccan/Turkish teaglass of olive oil, and ½ teaglass of water

Cook the chicken with the all the other ingredients under pressure (steam setting) for 10 minutes, until it cooks down to a thick paste.

Add about 2 coffee mugs of water and cook under pressure (setting 2) for 30 minutes. Serve with trid, and the chicken will melt in your mouth!

Moroccan Geomety: S8 Class: 8-fold maakous w/ kandeel & B&L, tessellated

Moroccan Geometry: S8 Class: 8-fold maakous with kandeel & "B" & "L", tessellated This 8-fold design yielded a tessellation of 15 tiles on an 18"x12" page, with a center tile and no half-tiles. The Qandeel w ba w la (jellyfish with "B" and "L") is outside the 22.5°-turned Seal of Solomon/Looza/Sfet figures which comprise the middle of the drawing, but inside the corner seal of solomon, which each tile contains one-fourth of, and which is completed at the corners by four tiles. Other shapes include the Sfet L'herba, or bayonet/spear, and another form based on the Qandeel, known as the Bou Mnikher Mashrook, or Squashed Little Nose. This shape and the Sfet L'herba line the outside border of each tile, and so only half the shape is within the tile itself, and is completed by the adjacent tiles on each side. The arrangement consists of circles arranged diagonally, including 5 center circles arrange like the 5 on a die, ...

Moroccan Geometry: S9 Master Class: 10-fold with the Eye of the Sun from Bou Inania Medersa, Fez

Adv S9 Master Class: 10-fold with the eye of the sun, from Bou Inania Medersa, Fes Part A: Draw the main circle and subdivide it into tenths. This 10-fold design is based on 2 concentric circles. These two fully contain the 4 central shapes. 10 other overlapping circles whose centers are outside of the outer circle complete and contain the remaining shapes. The first of the 2 concentric circles to be drawn is the outer one 1. We want the finished drawing to fit with 5 mm margins above and below. The ratio of the circle's radius, A, to the distance between the center and the outer point of the pattern, B, is approximately 5 to 7. Using a watercolor paper that is 304mm high, B should be no more than 304mm, minus the 5 mm margins, then divided in half, or 147 mm. So then A, the radius of the main circle, should be about (5/7) x 147 mm, or about 105 mm. Use the usual method of finding the center of the page, draw a circle of the desired radius and quarter the circle with horizo...

Moroccan Geometry: S1 HW: 12-fold pattern with circles

Orient the page in profile form, as the design has a greater length along its vertical axis than its horizontal axis With the compass, draw the central circle and divide it into 6 equal parts. With the ruler, draw the vertical and both diagonal axes through the center. With the compass set at the same radius, place its point at the intersections of each axis where it meets the circle, and make a mark bisecting the access outside the center circle. These will be the centers of the 6 surrounding circles. Draw the 6 surrounding circles. These should touch the edge of the adjacent circles (center, left, and right) without overlapping them. Begin to divide each of these 6 circles into 6 equal parts. The axis already defines the first 2 points. Placing the point of the compass (same radius) at the point where it’s predefined axis already crosses the outermost point of the circle, and make 2 marks on either side for the second two points. The last 2 points as where the circle mee...
