Morocco, a vibrant country in North Africa, is known for its rich and diverse culinary traditions. The cuisine is a splendid mix of Arab, Berber, Moorish, and French influences. Here are some signature dishes:
Tajine
A slow-cooked stew, named after the earthenware pot it's cooked in. Tajines are aromatic dishes often made with lamb, chicken, or fish, combined with vegetables or fruits, and seasoned with spices like saffron, cumin, and turmeric.
Couscous
Often considered the national dish, couscous is made from semolina wheat and steamed to fluffiness. It is typically served with a stew of meat or vegetables.
Pastilla
A savory pie, typically filled with pigeon or chicken, mixed with almonds and spices, and encased in layers of thin, flaky pastry.
Harira
A traditional soup made with tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, and fresh herbs, often served during Ramadan to break the fast.
Mint Tea
A popular beverage, Moroccan mint tea is a perfect combination of green tea, fresh mint leaves, and sugar. It's often enjoyed multiple times throughout the day.
