Before going to Morocco, I had no idea what the food would be like there. I thought it would be spicy and vegetable-based. My first meal there was neither of these things. I ate a chicken, cinnamon, sugar and almond pie for dinner (see the featured image of this article). It was a perfect balance of sweet and salty!
I tried couscous with vegetables, chicken and raisins. My meal did not have much salt, at least that I could detect. It tasted very natural. I could taste the freshness of the vegetables and raisins. I also tried a very fresh soup which was water-based but had many local spices in it. We ate freshly baked bread with it.
The food was all so fresh that I felt good after eating it. The spices and ingredients were flavorful. Usually, on vacations, I feel unhealthy because I don't eat such great food. After time in Morocco, I felt both better and healthier!
None of the food that I encountered in Morocco was deep-fried or processed. The vegetables were steamed, and the chicken was lightly grilled. Most of the food is fresh, and you can tell this from the vibrant flavors. Do you prefer raw fresh foods or fried food?
