What to eat in Marrakech
Trying tajine (also spelled tagine) is the all-important first step. Originally a Maghrebi dish named after the cone-shaped pot in which it is cooked, the Marrakesh variety is a slow-cooked savoury stew made with sliced meat (usually lamb), vegetables or fruit, plus spices, such as ginger, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and saffron. Veggie-based tajines are quite common and generously seasoned with paprika and chili. Couscous is a well-known cornerstone of local cuisine, as is fresh bread, typically in the form of khobz, the oven-baked, flat-ish variety. No utensils? No problem: use a piece of bread to scoop up whatever you feel like scooping up from your plate. On the soup front, there’s harira, a rich, satisfying affair made with lentils, chickpeas, and tomatoes, occasionally punched up with beef, lamb, chicken, or eggs.
