The best gastronomy in Casablanca
La Mechouia is a salad of roasted vegetables that is prepared mainly with red peppers, but in Casablanca they have added a special touch with roasted aubergines and Medjoul dates. The contrast of flavors between roasted peppers and sweet Medjoul dates make this Mechouia a refreshing and healthy option to enjoy on warm Casablanca days. In addition to its delicious flavor, this salad is packed with nutrients and is a great option for those looking for a light and nutritious meal.
Kefta: A delicious flavor experience
Kefta is another popular dish that is part of Moroccan cuisine. These are balls made with minced meat, reminiscent of meatballs, but with a mixture of spices and unique flavors. The meat used to prepare the Kefta can be beef or lamb, and it is combined with different spices and sometimes chopped onions.
On some occasions, it is also mixed with rice, burghul, vegetables or egg to form a paste which is then roasted. Kefta's versatility allows it to be made with fish or vegetables, making it a suitable option for all palates. Try it grilled, fried, steamed, poached or marinated, and enjoy its irresistible flavor!
Harira: A sweet delicacy for dessert
What better way to end a Moroccan meal than with a traditional sweet? Harira is a Moroccan pastry delight, which is prepared with a sweetened almond mass, similar to marzipan. Flavored with orange blossom water and cinnamon, it is bagged in a flour dough, taking the shape of a pasty with a characteristic "horn" design.
Harira is served with dusted icing sugar or sesame seeds. It is a dessert that satisfies both sweet tooth and those who prefer more subtle and refined flavors.
