Moroccan cuisine
Like the country, it is rich in flavors,
aromas and colors. Its scents and sweet-and-sour combinations are
famous
around the world.
Usages and customs
A Moroccan meal is an experience which
requires all the senses. The friendly atmosphere is complemented by
the scents of saffron, cumin and coriander. And every region will
reveal to you its specialties, traditions and its welcome.
The great classics
Of
course you will taste the international star: couscous, or rather a
whole range of couscous, for there are many depending on the time of
year and the region. You will taste a subtle balance between spices
and the rich combinations of meat and vegetables. You will savor the
jewel of Moroccan cuisine: the pastilla. A delicate pie which
wonderfully combines finely chopped pigeon, parsley, hard-boiled egg,
almonds and honey. And then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. A
real feast for the senses! You will also find this dedication to
pastry in chicken or beef briouats. You will discover soup including
harira, with a base of lentils and chick-peas. And how could you
resist the pleasures of the tajine? This meat, chicken or fish stew,
accompanied by vegetables and fruits, is traditionally cooked in a
covered terracotta dish which has given it its name.
Tea and cakes
And finally, Moroccan patisseries:
pancakes with honey and sesame seeds, cakes made with almonds or
raisins, etc. And accompanied, of course, by traditional mint tea…
To remember
Moroccan cuisine is one of the best in
the world. Come and see for yourself! |
