What to eat in Morocco
Moroccan cuisine is rich and varied, influenced by a mix of Berber, Arab, Andalusian, Andalusian and Mediterranean cultures. Here are five recommended dishes to eat in Morocco:
Tajine
Tajine is an iconic Moroccan stew cooked in an earthenware pot with a conical lid that bears the same name. The dish, which varies depending on the region and the ingredients available, can contain meat (such as chicken, lamb or beef), fish or even be vegetarian. The mixture usually includes fresh vegetables, dried fruits such as plums or apricots, and olives, all seasoned with a rich blend of spices such as turmeric, ginger, cumin and saffron. Slow cooking allows the flavours to integrate deeply, resulting in a tender and juicy textured dish, typically accompanied by Moroccan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Couscous
Couscous is Morocco's national dish, traditionally served on Fridays. This dish consists of steamed wheat semolina grains, served with a generous layer of vegetables (such as carrots, courgettes, and pumpkin), chickpeas, and meat (lamb, chicken or beef), all bathed in a spicy broth. Each bite offers a perfect combination of textures and flavours, with a hint of sweetness from the sultanas and the aromatic touch of spices. Some variants, such as couscous tfaya, include caramelised onions, sultanas and cinnamon, providing a sweet and spicy culinary experience.
Pastela
Pastela is a sophisticated puff pastry that combines sweet and savoury flavours. This dish is traditionally prepared for special occasions and festivities. The filling, usually pigeon or chicken, is mixed with almonds, eggs, cinnamon, and wrapped in thin layers of filo pastry. Finally, it is baked and sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon, creating a contrast of crunchy textures and tender fillings. Each bite offers a unique fusion of flavours, ranging from the softness of the meat and spices to the sweetness of the sugar and toasted almonds.
Harira
Harira is a thick, comforting soup, especially popular during the month of Ramadan to break the fast. Rich in nutrients, this soup combines tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, thin noodles, and meat (such as lamb or beef) in an aromatic mixture. Fresh herbs such as coriander and parsley, along with spices such as ginger and saffron, enrich its flavour. The thick texture and deep flavour of harira make it ideal as a starter or main course at any time of the year, bringing a sense of warmth and well-being with every spoonful.
Mechoui
Mechoui is a festive dish of roast lamb, typical of large celebrations and family events in Morocco. The whole lamb, generously seasoned with cumin, paprika, garlic and fresh herbs, is roasted slowly, often in a traditional clay oven or on a spit. This slow cooking process allows the meat to become extremely tender and juicy, with a crispy and flavourful outer crust. Mechoui is often served with a cumin and salt sauce, and is enjoyed with bread, standing out as a main dish that symbolises Moroccan hospitality and tradition.
