Cooking Morocco: imperial cities

 Gastronomy

Lunch and dinner generally start with a salad. Mechouia, the most popular is a mix of tomatoes and roasted peppers. Next, the following dishes will be offered: tajine - a meat, poultry or fish steamed stew with vegetables is the most popular, and couscous - its preparation varies according to the different regions. The Moroccans usually prepare it for the traditional family Friday lunch. Pastilla, originally from Fez is a very refined dish - pastry stuffed with pigeon meat and almonds. For the holidays, tender lamb is either oven or spit-roasted for the mechoui. "Gazelle horns", almond feqqas, sesame ghoribas and honey cakes are the main available sweets. At the end of the meal, mint tea just can't be turned down, as actually, at any other time of the day.
