Ah bread, the corner stone of the North-African Diet. It’s true, Moroccans eat bread like none other. It’s made every morning, by most mamas at home and every kid who grew up on the tip of Africa knows that his mom’s bread is the best. I’m no different. However, I do think that my Moroccan bread kicks butt.
You know why? It’s my mom’s recipe.

Loubia is Moroccan White Bean Stew that packs tons of flavor while only using a handful of ingredients. It’s a delicious, spicy and citrusy soup that will make you forget that it is snowing outside.
Word.
…If you have ever found yourself shivering in the winter, craving a hot bowl of comfort, preferably vegan, then you probably should try this authentic Moroccan Lentil Soup.
This is the best way to eat lentils. Period.

What’s going on brothers and sisters?
While I do cook at home almost year-round, winter is usually prime cooking time for me. This recipe is Called Taktouka. It’s a warm salad or side that is essentially made by roasting peppers and cooking them in a fresh tomato sauce.
…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 🙂

For this Sunday, I am bringing you one of the classic of all classics, it’s called Baghrir. It’s a Moroccan pancake that I grew up eating on weekends and holidays and boy did I love it!
Today you will get to love it too. And the best part is, this pancake is vegan friendly.

What is the fluffiest flatbread you have ever made/ate in your life? Are you even a fan of Pita or do they mostly fall flat for you. Excuse the pun. I can tell you this, for the longest time I have been telling people that the best Pita in the world does not come from the middle-east, its rightful home is North-Africa. With today’s post, I will show you the Moroccan Batbout Recipe, a.k.a Moroccan Pita Bread, and by the time you make it, you will hopefully be convinced that this is the best pita bread in the world.
It’s not even up for debate … Until I taste a better pita bread.

One of the most bizarre relationships I have with food has to be the one I have with soup. I don’t particularly love it, yet, some soups are among my favourite foods of all time. I don’t really know how to describe this. All I know is, of all the soups my mom has ever made for us, this Moroccan Potato Leek Soup stands head and shoulder above the rest.
This is why it deserves to be on this blog.

Salad is quite possibly one of the most misunderstood dishes in the world. When I wrote salad, you probably thought “Lettuce” or “Something green” or “Ugh”. I thought all of those things actually. The funny thing is, Moroccan cuisine is not really big on lettuce. While Moroccans eat a lot of salad, very few of them have any greens. Zaalouk anyone? This is a recipe that goes to show that salad can be exciting, filling, and immensely satisfying. This Zesty Moroccan Carrot Salad is unlike anything you have ever had and will change your mind about carrots.
Word.
Fact: I honestly thought that adding the word salad in the title was going to bring down the value of this dish. Ridiculous.

Thanks for stopping by again to read one of my posts to share some of my enthusiasm about food, to rant about random things and of course, share some bad jokes. Today’s recipe is as simple as simple comes – it is inspired by my Mediterranean roots and my love for eggplants. It’s my Creamy Roasted Aubergine recipe!
