Moroccan duck roast duck with figs is a delicious dish from the Moroccan High Atlas, here served with smoky vegetables and couscous. Its great additional benefits are that you're likely to get at least one additional meal out of this dish—maybe more—and possibly discovering a new Japanese-Moroccan sauce.

This Lebanese white fish en papillote (i.e. cooked in paper) is a very easy recipe that, with the right side dishes, creates a very interesting meal, no mean feat if you also want to keep it very low-fat, as it is here. Rich, deeply flavoured regional grains and a succulent side salad offset the simple, delicate flavours of the fish.
