Sweet and savory is the signature flavor profile of Moroccan cuisine and this Chicken Tagine embodies that balance perfectly.
…Picture this: Saturday Morning and you’re not working. You made a perfect brew of Moroccan Mint Tea and as you sip on it, you start craving something carbalicious.
That thing is called Harcha.
Today I am going to share with you the Street Version of Harcha. A classic that everyone in Morocco loves.

Another day, another tagine. Although Moroccan cuisine is best known for couscous, Tagines are by far the most popular and most widely consumed dish. The reason behind that is very simple: whatever is in season goes into a Tagine.

Making cookies for Eid al Fitr is just one of those things that almost every household in Morocco does. Every house has its own specialty, and it is not uncommon to see neighbors trade cookies.
And it all makes sense. If you know that your neighbor makes the best Apricot Jam Cookies, and that your Crescent Cookies are better than hers, then it only makes sense to produce a surplus in order to trade it for those sweet Apricot Jam Cookies.
In economics we call that a comparative advantage. It’s the foundation of the Moroccan Cookie Trade Economy XD.

When I was a kid, I ate very few vegetables. As a matter of fact, I only started eating more veggies right around the age of 14, right when I left Morocco. Prior to that, the only veggies I used to eat were: potatoes (of course), tomatoes and aubergines. So when I was thinking of sharing a recipe that involved using aubergines (eggplants), it was kind of a no brainer for me. Zaalouk was and is still my favourite way to enjoy eggplants and tomatoes.
Once you try this recipe, I am sure it will be yours too 🙂
