Miriam: Pictures of Moroccan Food
Here are pictures of Moroccan food:
Lamb and Quince Tajine at Al Fassi Restaurant in the Sofitel Palais Jamai Hotel, Fes.
Next is the dessert at the same restaurant on the prix fixe menu. Note the very light portion!
Bisarra - a white bean, garlic, olive oil, and cumin soup. Available from many street vendors, retail at about $1.
Addis - lentils cooked with lemon and spices and oil. About $1.25.
Hummus - not the Lebanese style you're used to, this is just cooked chickpeas. Sometimes the chickpeas are a bit hard. $1.25.
Fancy Fruit Guy - Vendor of all your favorite exotic fruits including raspberries, lychee, mangoes, strawberries, prickly pear, and the like.
A mostly finished platter of couscous. One of these fed about 8 people! I have taken cooking classes with Laila, the housekeeper, and have recipes for couscous, hummus, harcha (semolina breakfast thing), and tajine. Tajines are conical clay pots that you cook meat and vegetables in. Oftentimes, the food is cooked in big vats and then served in a tajine (that's at a restaurant). At home, you can use small to large tajines to cook up to 3 people's worth of food.
