Inspiration for a maroccany type starter, please!!

[michaelad]

We've got friends over on Friday and I'm already set on making a particular Maroccan inspired soup..but that might not be enough on its own. So, any ideas for nice starters?

Chickpea and orange salad (don't have a recipe but someone made it for me and it was delicious)
tabbouleh

that might be quite nice. I'll try and find a recipe somewhere..

You could make a moroccan type soup by sauteeing onions and garlic, add in some harissa paste (basically chillies with cumin, garlic and cinammon ect)then add some chickpeas and chopped tomatoes. You could also add some chopped dried apricots. Cover with stock and simmer for 10-20 mins.

Pickie stuff - tabbouleh, hoummus, olives etc with warm pittas, flatbreads and a few salads - I have a nice Morroccan carrot salad if any use?
