Jewish cuisine,
Mediterranean cuisine,
Middle Eastern cuisine,
Portuguese cuisine and
Spanish cuisine,
as well as native Berber cuisine.
The basis of most Moroccan dishes are native ingredients including
Mediterranean fruit and vegetables, as well as cattle, poultry,
seafood and sheep. Many types of are used, both imported and home-grown,
and Moroccan cuisine also makes use of mint, olives, orange and lemons.
Some popular Morrocan recipes and dishes:
- Couscous - A paste made from spherical granules of semolina coated with
wheat flour. It is traditionally served with meat or vegetable stew, and
can be eaten hold or cut, and a side dish or dessert.
- Emshmel and mqualli - These are both dishes made chicken, citrus fruits and olives cooked in a
tajine (a special heavy clay pot). The two dishes differ slightly in preparation methods.
- Harira - A soup made from flour, chickpeas, eggs, lentils, onions, rice, and tomatoes,
as well as a small amount of meat, and flavored with herbs and perhaps lemon juice.
It is usually served with hard-boiled eggs, dates and figs. Harira is eaten during
Ramadan after sunset, on special celebrations such as the morning after a wedding.
- Kefta - Meatballs in an egg and tomato sauce.

Paula Wolfert’s name is synonymous with revealing the riches of authentic Mediterranean cooking, especially the cuisine of Morocco. In The Food of Morocco, she brings to bear more than forty years of experience of, love of, and original research on the traditional foodways of that country. The result is the definitive book on Moroccan cuisine, from tender Berber skillet bread to spiced harira (the classic soup made with lentils and chickpeas), from chicken with tangy preserved lemon and olives to steamed sweet and savory breast of lamb stuffed with couscous and dates.
