Morocco Food

 

While living in Belgium I mostly worked with Moroccans and ate a lot of their food. Berbers are the most populated among all Muslims in Europe. They are very gentle and good hosts as well who feed the guests at home. The ordinary Morocco food is extremely plain and less spicy but it is tasty and I love it because I also like less peppery meals. Their top traditional recipes which they offer at weddings and any small or big events are Couscous, Bastilla, Tagine, Mint Tea, Harira, Fish Chermoula, and samolina loaf.

Couscous

Couscous is a grain that can also be cooked with heat and water. They dine it with chicken or mutton with a few vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and bottled gourd. It is prepared in a special pot having two sections bottom one is a normal pot whereas the top one is with holes. This is because they cook mutton and vegetables with very little spices in the bottom pot and couscous in the top pot with the heat of the bottom. In this way, less effort is needed. It is very delicious. They cook couscous as dessert as well. Adding sugar and some dry fruits in it to make a simple savory dessert. Additionally, it comes in the most common matrimony foodstuffs. I also have made these grains a few times at home, as it is effortless to cook and less spicy food which kids enjoy too.

Bastilla

A dessert and a spicy meal a bastilla is. It is an extremely distinctive recipe of Morocco food. They prepare it after covering the marinated chicken with a raw roll sheet. A roll sheet is a very thin loaf of flour dough that is also used to make samosas a Pakistani cuisine and rolls for tea-time refreshments. 

Bastilla is baked with chicken-filled roll covers. Additionally, it is a straightforward, less peppery, and delicious dish of Moroccan food which they offer at marriage festivals as well.

 

Tagine

One of the tastiest menus of Arab culture which they set for weddings as well is tagine. It is a routine recipe with varieties. Chicken or mutton tagine with vegetables, dry fruits, olives, a few spices, and other legumes like chickpeas they fry. They devour it with bread or couscous. No doubt it is very savory too. 

Harira

I cannot forget the delightful flavor of Harira. It is a soup and one of my favorite dishes on the Morocco food menu. It is made from legumes like lentils and chickpeas, fresh herbs, and a few spices. It is also an extremely healthy soup that they drink during Ramadan as well. 

Fish chermoula 

Moroccans also savor fish which is a little different. The recipe for Chermoula includes just lemon juice, fresh herbs, and a bit of spices but sometimes they include carrots and capsicum and a few seafood as well. It is a less peppery but flavorful recipe of fish which is a matrimonial menu too.

 

Mint tea

This is my favorite drink of all drinks. It is healthy and tasty which you can drink during summer as well as in winter. Mint tea is extremely plain tea with only two ingredients which are gunpowder loose tea or green tea and mint leaves. You can add some other flavors to it but it tastes better when simply cooked with sugar. It is also part of weddings and other functions.

Semolina loaf

If you do not eat any loaf in the morning meal, must try Al-Maghriba semolina loaf, which is soft and delicious. They make it with flour and semolina dough and roll a small part of the dough in several layers while using semolina and flour. Further, they fry it on a straight pan. They use oil while frying to make it more delicious. Enjoy this bread in the morning meal with any type of tea. This bread is a part of small festivals as well. 

Morocco's food is plain but appetizing meals with fewer spices. You can enjoy all the above meals at their weddings or prepare them at home. These recipes are so effortless to cook. Dine with Moroccan refreshments once in your life.
