I really don't remember the first time
I ate Moroccan food, although somehow I had a prior knowledge about the Moroccan
spice mix ras el hanout. Ras el hanout means "top of the shop" or "head
of the shop". It's a spice mix used often in Moroccan cuisine. There are
probably a hundred different variations on this spice mix. I consider it to be
similar to garam masala, a spice mix found in Indian cuisine, which, while widely
used in recipes varies from region to region.

While
I have enjoyed all these Moroccan recipes that I'm sharing with you (both the
preparation and the eating) I have to say that for me, the one that summed up
what Moroccan cuisine is all about was the Chicken B'stilla. This is an amazing
chicken pie flavored with almonds, confectioners sugar and cinnamon layered in
flaky filo dough. Not only is it a beautiful presentation, but the flavor is unforgettable.
Another
classic Moroccan dish is a one pot meal (basically a slow cooked stew) called
a tagine, after the vessel it is cooked in. Tagines contain a variety of meat,
poultry or seafood, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts and seasonings. You'll also
find preserved lemons and olives quite common in tagines. Vegetarian tagines are
quite tasty and easy to prepare. No, you don't need a special cooking vessel to
make a tagine, I use a cast iron Dutch oven and it works fine. All
of these Moroccan recipes are easy to print recipes and come from trusted sources.
Some include helpful Cooks Tips. Today
it's very easy to find all the
necessary spices and ingredients you need to cook just about any cuisine you can
imagine. Zamouri spices
has a great selection of Moroccan ingredients and spices.
