Moroccan Food?

[VeganLiz]

Hello people

I am cooking a meal for my Mum this Sunday and when I asked her what nationality she wanted she said moroccan. I am thinking of doing some kind of tagine with cous cous. Anyone have any good recipes - help?!

Hi Liz,
try this link (http://www.recipes4us.co.uk/Cooking%20by%20Country/Morocco%20Speciality%20dish%20Tagines.htm)- there is a great vegan tagine on there.

Dear Fiamma

Wow I have only done two posts today and you have helped with both - I am going to try the lentil tagine on the link you gave me - maybe with some apricots for added flavour.

I make tajine about once a week. Next to a varying selection of vegetables, I add the following spices:

-garlic (freshly ground or powder)
-cinnamon
-cumin
-ginger (freshly ground or powder)
-bay leaves
-cubed pickled lemon skins (easy to make yourself)
-a tiny bit of orange blossom water
-cayenne pepper (depending on how hot you want it)
-safran (nice but expensive so I rarely add it)

This will give you a rich and zesty aromatic tajine.

Fiamma a.k.a. The Research Goddess :D The recipe sounded great and I'm happy you found it useful. Have a great meal with your Mum :)

Here are some more links for vegans going to Morocoo or people looking for vegan food from Morocco. They are listed in random order.

From Vegan Paris>VeganMorocco:
"I just had a short vacation in Morocco, visiting Marrakesh and Essaouira, and I found it very accommodating for the vegan traveller. I even think eating raw here would be quite easy. I didn’t try though, as I wanted to satisfy my lifelong desire to eat couscous in Maroc… and satisfy it I did! I was concerned about the broth but I always enquired and was always guaranteed the veg dishes contained no animal stock what so ever. "
