Moroccan food

If you ever travel to Morocco, be ready for the tagine -lots of it! The tagine is a unique conical earthenware vessel used for Moroccan cooking. I was most eager try it having watched Jamie Oliver, Anthony Bourdain and countless other food journalists singing its praises. It was delicious and I really didn't mind that every other meal consisted of some form of tagine ranging from chicken, beef, lamb, fish to liver...err.. maybe you should skip the liver version.

The Tagine

Beef tagine with almonds and prunes at Residence Amina - it was the best one we tasted on the trip!

Homecooked Couscous with seven vegetables and chicken served by Zahara (Ismail's mother)

A Berber omelette made from eggs, onions and tomatoes - it was super yummy!

O yes..and not forgetting khoobz (flatbread) that is served with every meal. It was a handy tool to mop up all the delicious gravy!
