Rich in both history and flavor, Moroccan cuisine is one of the most exotic food in the world


Harira Soup traditional lentil soup
This hearty Moroccan soup, of Berber origin, is typically served as the evening meal during the holy month of Ramadan. It is an excellent cold-weather soup.

Couscous
These are fine semolina grains which are plumped by steaming them over a simmering stew. The grains are then piled on a large platter, with the stew heaped on top. This is a classic Berber dish which has seen many interpretations. Traditionally, couscous is served for Friday lunch or for special occasions. It is never a main dish, rather it is served as the last dish at the end of a meal. A "couscous of seven vegetables" is common in Fez, where seven is considered a lucky number. The seven "lucky" vegetables are onions, pumpkin, zucchini, turnips, chili peppers, carrots and tomatoes.


Tajine
The Tajine serves as the framework for a college of ingredients, spices and styles. Tajine de viande (Meat Tagine), Tajine des poissons (Fish Tagine), chicken with preserved lemons Tagines
