There's Something About Morocco
I didn’t think I would like the food in Morocco. It’s not usually what I like to eat I thought but since going there a few times, I’ve realized, it is what I like!! I just didn’t know what it really was.
The tangines are varied and offer lots of fresh vegetables, the salads are simple but delicious, and the mint tea is a custom I could get used to very easily. I love the ritual of it and the taste.
Here is a recipe I’ve made several times (so easy!) and I think you will enjoy it to.
