What typical dishes are there in Marrakech?

There are a variety of gastronomic offers in the city that would be impossible to mention them here all, but we will mention some dishes that make the tongue melt only by perceiving its aromas.

Couscous

Couscous

Forget the packaged Couscous that is sold in Western supermarkets or in restaurants outside our country, we are talking about the authentic Couscous, made with affection and respecting traditions.

Couscous is a typical dish of North Africa in its variants, but the most famous is that of Morocco; the base is made of semolina that can be from various sources, but the most common is that of wheat, although in some areas of the country it may be of other grains, white or black, of breadcrumbs among others.

The Couscous without another component can not be completed, from there come the variants that give it the special flavor and aroma; vegetables, meats, dried fruits cooked and softened, there is even with fish or in summer simply with cold fermented milk (Leben) and it is a delight.

Tanjia

One of the most typical dishes in the southern part of the country; the origin of the word comes from the clay pot that is used for the preparation of the dish; is a dish not suitable for vegetarians since without meat there is no Tanjia.

Each chef has his way and secrets to prepare the best Tanjia, but the most common among all is the fact that each Tanjia is introduced into an underground oven, among the ashes, where it is done slowly without fire, only by the heat of the ashes.

Tajine

One of the most famous Moroccan dishes worldwide next to Couscous, the name is also due to the clay pot used in the preparation, although in some cases it can be prepared in pots of different types, but the most original and common is that of clay. A Tajine can be meat (all kinds of meat) or fish accompanied by vegetables.

Harira

The most traditional soup in the country, there is a great variety of Harira that can be found in the different points throughout the city.

Pastela

Pastela

Although the name sounds Spanish, and it is, but it is one of the richest dishes in the country, it is usually chicken meat in rolls of very fine dough baked, the result is a crunchy outer contour and soft chicken (or other mixtures) inside. Irresistible, You cannot miss it.
