Capital Cooking September Showtimes


Looking for a way to spice up dinnertime at home? On the newest episode of Capital cooking, Lauren DeSantis teaches how to cook an exquisite Moroccan Meal filled with Morocco’s famous spices and flavors.

Lauren will start off with the famous, Chicken Tagine, a chicken entrée based on a Moroccan spicy stew that simmers in a special pot called the tagine. The stew will consist of tomatoes, garlic, onion, preserved lemons, and chicken stock that makes this Moroccan dish authentic. As a complement for the Chicken Tagine, DeSantis will make cous cous with chicken broth and some of the juices of the tagine.

As the chicken dish simmers, Lauren will teach how to bake the famous Moroccan Serpent Cake. This famous Moroccan dessert is a crescent-shaped pastry coiled like a snake and made of an almond paste finely rolled up in filo dough. Lauren will also show how to make Amlou, a typical Moroccan breakfast dish that consist of a roasted almond paste spread over pita bread. DeSantis will bring it all together by serving these dishes with the Casablanca Cocktail, a distinctive Moroccan drink.

Don’t miss the opportunity of spicing up your kitchen with famous Moroccan recipes and tune into Capital Cooking with Lauren DeSantis. Capital Cooking is the first television show of its kind: a series exploring the culinary and cultural riches of our nation’s Capital.
