Shabbat Menu - Grilled Marinated London Broil

Moroccan Semolina (or Cornmeal) Soup Recipe

In my native Morocco this is often breakfast. It takes minutes from beginning to end, costs pennies, and it is so satisfying. I have whipped it up countless times when I needed to round out a meal in a jiffy. You can save even more time by grinding the garlic and cilantro in a food processor. If you are making this for breakfast, the quick way, throw in the garlic and the cilantro whole. The garlic will be easy to fish out, or enjoy whole, in your bowl, and you can discard the cilantro at the end of cooking. Gluten-free: Look for brown rice farina, or simply use fine or medium corn meal. For an occasional splurge, add some freshly grated parmesan.
