Morocco and its Cuisine

Morocco (Arabic: المملكة المغربية)l officially: المملكة المغربية; Al-Mamlaka al-Maghribiyya; Tagldit n Lmeghrib; Royaume du Maroc [Kingdom of Morocco] is a relatively small African country with a population of 33 million. Morocco is the only African country that is not currently a member of the African Union. Morocco de facto administers the region of Western Sahara (yellow) as its "Southern Provinces". Its sovereignty, however, is currently in dispute. For historical references, medieval Arab historians and geographers used to refer to Morocco as Al-Maghrib al Aqşá ("The Farthest West"), disambiguating it from neighboring historical regions called al-Maghrib al Awsat ("The Middle West", Algeria) and al-Maghrib al Adna ("The Nearest West", Tunisia). The Latinized name "Morocco" originates from medieval Latin "Morroch," which referred to the name of the former Almoravid and Almohad capital, Marrakech. The name 'Marrakech' itself is presumably derived from the Berber word Mur-Akush meaning Land of God. Morocco is the fourth most populous Arab country, after Egypt, Sudan and Algeria. Most Moroccans are Sunni Muslims of Arab, Berber, or mixed Arab-Berber stock. About three-quarters of all present-day Moroccans are of Berber descent, while Arabs form the second largest ethnic group.

Along with Tunisia and Algeria, Morocco forms part of the Maghreb region of North Africa and the basis for Moroccan cookery is Maghrebi cuisine. Moroccan cuisine, however, has been significantly influenced by both Spanish and French cooking traditions as the country was initially a Spanish and then a French colony. The most used ingredients are paprika, saffron, ginger, walnuts and almonds. Couscous is the national staple and is served with meat, fish, fowl and vegetable dishes. Moroccan cuisine is generally accepted as one of the World's great cuisines.


The alphabetical list of recipes from Morocco follows (limited to 100 recipes per page). There are 119 recipes in total:
