A to Z of Morocco

Food
What is Moroccan food like?
"Exotic and delicious " and quite addictive once you start. One of the specialities is called a 'tajine', this is like a meat and vegetable stew cooked in a round earthenware dish, cooked slowly to ensure all the flavours enrich the meat and vegetables.

  

  Expect: Chicken with Olives, Chicken au citron, Lamb and prunes. For starters you could be offered 'harira' which is a thick chickpea soup with meat or vegetables and often dates. Pastilla - pigeon and almond inside a flaky pastry case.

Steamed semolina - 'couscous' is served with chicken or meat and vegetables with a bowl of spicy sauce to pour over your couscous.

Brochettes of Lamb, Fish and Beef are also common and served with fresh bread and Moroccan salads.

  

Fruit and vegetables are often organic and taste fantastic, sweet pastries are always a weakness and don't forget the mint tea!

 

Wine - the French tradition is reflected in the cultivation of a high standard of Moroccan wines which are very palatable and inexpensive. Rose is ideal as it balances the flavours of the cuisine.

Beers are served in most hotels and restaurants, and you can buy your own in supermarkets around the main cities.

Is it safe to go to Morocco?

Moroccan hospitality is legendary and has welcomed visitors to the kingdom for centuries. The country embrace's a liberal and tolerate way of life whilst preserving the important values of its rich culture.
