CULTURE

My Favorite Moroccan Dishes

Why you must try these beauties to experience the culture.

One of the best ways I love to experience a culture is to dive in and taste its food.

A land’s cuisine will reveal important elements about the culture, from the values to the history of the land.

I am particularly fascinated by Moroccan dishes. It's something about the combination of sweet and savory along with the use of exotic spices and herbs that trigger my tastebuds.

For me, all it takes is one bite of well-cooked Moroccan comfort food to fall in love with the culture.

In Morrocan food you will find 3 elements that are highlighted in nearly every dish:

Plenty of warming spices
A dozen loads of dried fruit
A bunch of nuts and seeds

I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you some of my favorite Moroccan additions to the table.

Traditional Moroccan food, savory and sweet dishes alike, are filled with essential nutrition, flavors, and a heck load of spices to keep you satisfied.

Among one of my favorite savory dishes are the traditional couscous and pumpkin meat tagine. This dish is divine as it combines the flavors of sweet and sour to bring along one-of-a-kind comfort foods that will surely become a family favorite.

You can utilize dried or fresh fruit, lamb shanks, and substitute potatoes for pumpkins.

Below is a great simple video that shows you how to cook a tagine:

Just make sure you get the spices right or else you are in for a surprise.

Moroccan Sweets

One of my favorite Moroccan sweets is date-filled sugar biscuits. It is spiced with warming spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom.

You need to purchase or prepare a date dough ahead of time using ghee, dates, cinnamon, cardamom, and fennel. Prepare the biscuit dough and start rolling.

I love this in summer as a great addition to Moroccan tea enjoyed during an afternoon picnic with family and friends.

It can also be enjoyed equally in winter since the warming spices work to warm the body and provide comfort for the digestive system and the mood.

Enjoyed with mint-flavored green tea and a plate of mixed nuts and you have revived the Moroccan spirit.

Moroccans love to utilize a combination of nuts and seeds in their dishes. This creates the perfect crunch, flavor and provides a bomb of vitamins and minerals all in one bite.
