Moroccan Food is a diverse cuisine that mixes Arab, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and African culinary influences. Spices are instrumental to the taste of Moroccan cuisine using cinnamon, cumin, mint and coriander on meats as well as vegetables.
A Guide to Moroccan Dishes
When heading to a Moroccan Restaurant you may not be clear on what you're ordering. Here is a little guide to some of the most popular dishes.
- Couscous - is a type of semolina that replaces rice. It's always served with dinner and is usually prepared plain or with vegetables.
- Mechoui - is a main course of roasted lamb
- Pastilla - is a main course of chicken and almonds
- Mourouzia - is a main course of lamb with raisins and honey
- Lhzina - is a salad with oranges, paprika, and olives
Dessert
While dessert isn't highly popular in Moroccan cuisine there are some sweet options after dinner. Try Shebakia which are sesame cookies, Limun bel-Qerfa which are oranges in cinnamon, or Kaab el ghzal, a type of almond paste that is similar to a pudding.
