The Marvelous Food of Morocco

What do you know about Moroccan cuisine? Here at home,  couscous and
tajine have found their way into many of our kitchens, as have saffron, mint, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, ginger, cloves, coriander, nutmeg...and the list goes on. Situated at the confluence of some of the world's most delicious culinary traditions, Moroccan cuisine is a blend of Berber, Mediterranean, Arabic, and Spanish food cultures.
 
Whether you love lamb, beef, chicken, and seafood, or you prefer to keep it vegetarian, you will find a broad variety of hearty, flavorful salads, soups, and main courses. Dessert is quite healthy, with fresh, seasonal fruit as the most popular way to end a meal - and a few guiltier options, such as Zucre Coco, or coconut fudge cakes. Yum!
 
Why not get into the spirit of the St. Andrew's Gala, Midnight in Marrakech, and try a home-cooked Moroccan meal? Here are some favorites that are perfect for this winter weather:
 
To have on hand for everything , Ras-El-Hanout, the de rigueur spice blend.


Second course: Easy Chicken Tajine with Couscous o r, if you're a vegetarian, Pumpkin, Cranberry, & Red Onion Tajine
 
Dessert: Fresh Fruit!
