Moroccan cuisine
North African cooking
Moroccan cuisine is the cooking tradition of Morocco, characterized by complex spice blends, slow-cooked tagines, and the interplay of sweet and savory flavors.
Signature dishes include couscous, pastilla, and harira soup.
Spices like cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and ras el hanout define its aromatic profile.
We had Moroccan cuisine at a little place in the medina.
