And if you have a bit of time on your hands and are bored with what you\u2019ve been eating on a daily basis \u2013 this is a great way to shake up your routine and find a new favourite dish in the process. We suggest you have a week a month where you try to incorporate a new cuisine into your life. We\u2019re all pretty used to basic Italian dishes, we\u2019ve had enough pizza and pasta in our life, and sushi is not that easy to make, so how about exploring scrumptious Moroccan dishes? You can try to make them or you can just order takeout from your local Moroccan restaurant. Here are some of the tastiest Morrocan dishes you need to try.\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>1. Harira\n\n\n\n<p>Harira is a Morrocan soup made of lentils and chickpeas. It might not sound like the most unusual combo, but it\u2019s the spices and herbs that make it taste absolutely delicious. There\u2019s garlic, harissa, onions, celery, turmeric, cumin, ginger and even cinnamon in this and altogether they create the most delicious flavor profile. The soup also usually has ground meat in it but if you\u2019re vegetarian you can omit this and it\u2019ll still taste great. Served with lemon wedges and a dollop of yogurt it\u2019s the best lunch option ever.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69979\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>2. Couscous\n\n\n\n<p>Couscous is actually a national dish in Morocco and if you think it\u2019s boring you\u2019ve clearly never had it the Moroccan way. They steam it so it\u2019s the perfect consistency and they usually add cooked veggies, chickpeas and slow-cooked meat with various yummy spices. It\u2019s usually served in a big communal plate from which you just take as much as you want. There\u2019s also a sweeter version that incorporates raisins that\u2019s also very tasty.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69980\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>3. Tagine\n\n\n\n<p>Tagina can technically be anything as long as it\u2019s cooked in this special clay pot called a tagine. It\u2019s like a traditional Moroccan domed slow cooker that makes sure whatever you cook in it tastes divine. You can make vegetable tagine or meaty one, but the best thing is that the food cooks in its own juices with additional herbs, and since it cooks slowly it has the time to marinate in all the flavors, honestly everyone should try it. The most popular one is kefta tagine which is made with beef meatballs.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69981\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>4. Bastilla\n\n\n\n<p>This is a treat for those who like a combo of sweet and savory. It\u2019s a traditional Moroccan pie filled with chicken (traditionally it was made with pigeon meat, but these days it\u2019s almost always made with chicken). It\u2019s flaky, it\u2019s delicious, it\u2019s sweet on the outside and perfectly salty and savory and juicy on the inside. It\u2019s a great dish that\u2019s unlike anything you\u2019ve ever had before.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-4.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69982\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>5. Zesty Sardines\n\n\n\n<p>Moroccans love their fish and seafood and the waters around them are full of sardines, so they\u2019ve mastered the art of cooking sardines in the most delicious way. Sometimes they just bake sardines with spices and herbs \u2013 that\u2019s definitely the healthier option. But a lot of the time they fill sardines with this deliciously zesty lemony marinade and fry them. The result is the most heavenly fish dish ever.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69983\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>6. Makouda\n\n\n\n<p>Makouda is essentially a potato fritter. It\u2019s a ball of mashed potato that\u2019s been fried. Moroccans often add egg to the mixture so that it holds together better. It can be served with an assortment of sauces, added into a sandwich to bulk it out or just sold as street food you can eat on the go. It\u2019s the best tasting snack that will definitely fill you up.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69984\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>7. Babbouche\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a more unique and usual dish, something to really surprise your tastebuds \u2013 try Babbouche. It\u2019s a dish that originated in Morocco and it\u2019s predominantly made of snails. Yup, it\u2019s as weird as it sounds, but it\u2019s delicious. Moroccan\u2019s believe it\u2019s great for your digestion. Babbouche is kind of like snail soup, you are usually served a bowl of snails in broth and you eat it by picking snails out of their shell with a toothpick and having it with a spoonful of broth.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69985\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>8. Briouat\n\n\n\n<p>Briouat, which can also be spelt as briwat, is a Moroccan sweet pastry that\u2019s often sold in street markets. There are actually sweet and savory briouats but the sweet one is usually filled with almonds, deep-fried and glazed with honey. The savory option is usually filled with meat and cheese that\u2019s seasoned with pepper and lemon.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/07%5C/9-Scrumptious-Moroccan-Dishes-You-Need-to-Try-8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-69986\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'><strong>9. Chebakia\n\n\n\n<p>Chebakia, also often called shebakia, is a classic Moroccan dessert. It\u2019s like a very sweet and sticky cookie made of layers of filo dough shaped like a flower. It\u2019s deep-fried and drenched in syrup (a mix of honey and rosewater) and then heavily sprinkled with sesame seeds. It\u2019s very sweet but if you have a sweet tooth you\u2019ll love it. Chebakia is also great with traditional Moroccan mint tea.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Cooking can be a fun hobby and a great way to explore the world of cuisine, it gives you new flavors and taste combinations that you otherwise wouldn\u2019t have tried before.
