Morocco is famous for its incredible cuisine. From sweet to savory, every bite of Moroccan food is packed with delicious flavors. Whether you’re eating at a restaurant or in someone’s home, the food will almost always leave you wanting more.
The Magic of Moroccan Cooking
One thing that makes Moroccan food special is how it mixes sweet and savory flavors. For example, sefa madfouna is a dish made with savory chicken covered with a pile of noodles topped with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Another favorite is meat and prune tajine, where the soft prunes add sweetness to the tender, flavorful meat.
Moroccan dishes are also famous for their rich use of spices. The main ones include ginger (skinjbeer), paprika (taHmira), pepper (libzar), and turmeric (kharkoum). Many dishes also use coriander (qazbar), salt (milHa), garlic (touma), and parsley with cilantro (rbi3). These spices give Moroccan food its warm colors, amazing smell, and mouthwatering taste.
Home Cooking and the Tajine
In Morocco, most dishes are made at home. They are often made from scratch and require time and patience. The Moroccan mother is often seen as the queen of the kitchen and a true master chef.
