Moroccan food is unlike any other cuisine in the world. With its mix of spices and flavors, it’s no wonder that so many people love it.
Being of Moroccan origins and thousands of miles away from my home, all I can say is I have always been fascinated by the food of my beloved country.
Moroccan dishes are a perfect fusion of Berber, Arab, Moorish, Mediterranean, and African influences. The food is characterized by its bold flavors, colorful decoration, and variety of native spices. It is also known for being very hearty and filling.
The good news is that Moroccan food is becoming more and more popular around the world, so it is easier to find Moroccan restaurants or ingredients to cook Moroccan dishes if traveling to Morocco is not an option for you.
But if you’re ever in Morocco, be sure to try some of these 40 best Moroccan foods! So get your appetite ready, and let’s dive into the delicious world of Moroccan food!
When it comes to food, Morocco is a land of endless possibilities. From tagines and couscous to pastries and salads, there’s something for everyone to love.
Now let’s get down to the list of the most amazing Moroccan food. Some of these happen to be my personal favorites.
Moroccan Couscous
Couscous ‘Seksu’ is the national dish of Morocco. Every Friday after Jumuaa prayers, Moroccans around the world gather around a large clay plate to feast on the traditional Moroccan Couscous.
Originally a Berber dish, the Moroccan couscous is basically a steamed wheat grain (sometimes semolina grains) topped with 7 different veggies and meat or chicken previously cooked in a super tasty broth.
The couscous is usually served with Leben, a famous Berber drink that is made by letting milk ferment for a few hours and then shaking it until you get a sour delicious drink.
Moroccan Tagine (Tajine)
Tagine is an age-old Moroccan Amazigh tradition of cooking food with a unique dome-shaped clay pot. The dish was named after this unique pot.
This world-famous food can be made with chicken or meat or vegetables-only if requested but not common for Moroccans since they LOVE their meat :P.
The Tagine is made by cooking the meat in a mix of exotic Moroccan spices, and onions, and then topping it up with either vegetables, green olives, or nuts.
What I like about the Moroccan Tagine is the beautiful presentation and that it is always served with bread (Khobz). I love the Moroccan Khobzzzz!
Another favorite food in Morocco is this one. Rfissa is a very popular dish in Morocco during celebrations. It is traditionally made with Msemen pastry bread (Found in Moroccan breakfasts), chicken, lentil, and chicken broth.
This Moroccan savory dish cannot be served without its two main ingredients, the Fenugreek spice, and Ras El Hanout a blend of several spices.
In addition to the mouthwatering taste, Rfissa is known to be good for health, especially for women recovering from childbirth and that’s why Rfissa is present at every newborn party in Morocco (S’boua)!
Don’t miss the opportunity to attend one of these to taste Rfissa. Read More...
