It is traditionally made with layers of paper-thin phyllo dough or warqa, and filled with a mixture of shredded chicken or pigeon meat, spices, and a sweet and savory combination of eggs, almonds, sugar, and…

Moroccan cuisine is known for its bold flavors and diverse influences. The country's location at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East has resulted in a unique blend of spices and cooking techniques. Some of the key ingredients in Moroccan dishes include olives, lemons, dates, and spices such as cumin, coriander, and saffron. One of the most popular dishes in Moroccan cuisine is Tagine, a stew that is cooked in a clay pot with a cone-shaped lid. The pot is placed on low heat and the ingredients, which can include meats, vegetables, and fruits, are slowly cooked together with spices. The steam generated in the pot is trapped by the lid, creating a moist and flavorful dish. Another popular dish is Couscous, a type of pasta made from semolina wheat that is often served with a variety of vegetables and meats. A traditional way of eating couscous is in a group, where a large serving bowl is placed in the center of the table and everyone eats from it with their hands. Other traditional Moroccan dishes include pastilla, a savory pastry filled with meat or fish, and b'stilla, a sweet pastry filled with almonds, sugar, and cinnamon. Moroccan mint tea is also a famous drink. It is made by steeping green tea leaves with mint and sugar, and it is typically served throughout the day, as well as to guests. Moroccan cuisine also has a strong Jewish influence, as many Jews lived in Morocco for centuries. This is reflected in dishes such as chakchouka, a stew made with tomatoes, peppers, and eggs, and harira, a lentil soup. Overall, Moroccan cuisine is a diverse and delicious blend of flavors and influences, with a focus on slow-cooking, fresh ingredients, and bold spices Follow me for more @berber_way_morocco_tour @morocco_group_tours @marrocos_viagens Tags #morocco #maroc #marrocos #Marokko #Marruecos #moroccotravel #moroccotours #moroccoplaces #moroccovacations #moroccotrip #moroccofood #moroccofoods #moroccanstyle #moroccancuisine #couscous #tajin #marrakech #fez #rabat #casablanca (at Morocco, North Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-CqBqsX5s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I made a Moroccan B'Stilla Pie tonight!! It looked really cool and really interesting delicious mix of flavours that I'm not used to!

I didn't emulsify the egg sauce correctly I don't think but it was still a great taste and texture so don't think it matters too much. I'll work on my emulsifying skills some other time!

So happy with how this turned out though!

3, 7 , 18

3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

All Time Low. I mean I was into a few of their songs before but I got into them in a big way this year. Wake Up Sunshine is 👌👌👌

7. Favorite actor of the year?

Ummmm...Kristen Bell? Just bc - last season of the good place ended start of this year (plus I rewatched it last month), frozen 2 (which I technically watched 2019 but still counts lol, and Heroes bc I love her as Elle. Also I'm not really into actors as a whole very often, so she's probably the one I've seen the most of this year.

18. A memorable meal this year?

In terms of stuff I've made - I made b'stilla this year (a Moroccan filo pie with chicken filling and cinnamon on top) which is probably the most unusual thing I've made this year. On a more usual basis, I've kind of fallen in love with cooking risotto this year.

On an eating out basis, it has to be my gf's birthday - we went out for lunch at a pub with her parents (going to a pub! With people outside your household!) and there were some really nice tapas, and then for tea we went for Korean bbq which was really cool. This was particularly memorable because it was March 11th so like right before everything started shutting down - glad we got our money's worth for the year by having two meals out in a day!

FOODIE'S GUIDE TO MARRAKESH

These movement guides are intended for tentative arrangements and current wandering off in fantasy land as it were. Up to that point, remain safe!

M'smen

Sightseers have since a long time ago rushed to Morocco's Red City for a sample of the extraordinary. The very name invokes flavors, snake-charmers,

and arousing delights. Its food soaks are in Berber and Arabic impacts and eating here can be an incredible experience. Marrakech must one of the most reminiscent, scrumptious, and exceptional goals for foodies in the Mediterranean locale. In any case, Marrakech can be dumbfounding just because of the guest (or any guest). Spare yourself from unremarkable couscous with this manual for finding the best food in Marrakech.

MOROCCAN CUISINE – CAFES – RESTAURANTS – LOCAL DISHES – MARKETS – COOKERY CLASSES – FOOD TOUR – SOUVENIRS – RECIPE BOOKS

MOROCCAN CUISINE

Marrakech truly was one of the primary general stores and markets in North Africa. Products and flavors were conveyed up the Saharan shipping lanes by camel. The Arab impact brought mezze and organic products from the east. French standard left its imprint as well, as did control of Andalucia. Marrakech has desert, mountains, and ocean inside short proximity. Stews are scented with nectar and saffron, cumin, protected lemon, olives, and dates. Slows down in the medina are heaped high with flavors and mint and figs. Morocco doesn't have a culture of eating out so most of the cafés are focused at guests as opposed to local people; it's very simple to leave away having eaten normal tagines at swelled costs. The best customary Moroccan food is normally found in the home, so in case you're remaining in a riad do benefit as much as possible from any chances to eat or cook with your host. Local people for the most part like to eat universal food when out for the night. The primary dishes related to Morocco are tagine and couscous. You'll never observe these served together, they are discrete dishes—and couscous from a bundle is heresy! Couscous is customarily eaten on a Friday (the blessed day) and is what could be compared to Sunday lunch. It's meticulously hand moved from semolina and steamed with the meat and vegetables. In Marrakech, you'll likewise discover Tangia, a stew cooked in a dirt pot in the ashes underneath the hammam (instead of on a burner in a stoneware tagine).

Moroccan breakfast at Cafe des Epices THE CAFES

Sooner or later during your outing, you'll need a break from the singing warmth and power of the Medina. Here's a determination of probably the best bistros in Marrakech to shield from the sun and get your caffeine fix: Atay Cafe. Close to the Ben Youssef Madrasa, this is the one with the most Instagrammable rooftop patio. Energetic juices and boho-stylish vibes. Bistros des Epices. Perhaps the coolest bistro, head to this staggered Spice Market bistro in case you're longing for a latte or searching for a light lunch, chill beats and housetop sees. Bistro Clock. Initially began in Fes, Cafe Clock presently has a station in Marrakech. It broadly serves a camel burger and offers social workshops and customary jam meetings. Bistro du Livre. One for the bibliophiles (and those lenient toward tobacco smoke), this agreeable hideaway and English-language book shop has a liquor permit and is well known with ex-pats. Grande Cafe de la Poste. For climate, this reestablished pioneer period brasserie is difficult to beat for beverages or eating. It's a debauched neighborhood establishment with nearby fixings and live jazz in the nighttimes.

THE LOCAL DISHES TO TRY

Just as the numerous minor departure from tagine and couscous, here are a couple of neighborhood specialties and tidbits to watch out for while meandering the Medina:

Amlou. A delightful blend of argan oil, nectar, and almond glue. This is your new most loved plunge.

Babouche. Snails served in a daintily spiced gritty stock, these snails taste more like mushrooms than you may anticipate.

Insane Bread. One of the numerous names for cushy pitta-Esque sandwiches stuffed hard bubbled eggs, pounded potato, and zesty sauce. Likewise, pay special mind to sandwiches highlighting aubergine (eggplant) or sardine.

Becerra. Garlicky fava bean soup.

B'stilla. The exemplary Moroccan dish is generally made with pigeon or chicken meat encased in slender flaky baked good and sweet flavors, yet different fillings, for example, fish are accessible as well.

Briouats. Minimal triangular samosa-like filled baked goods, loaded down with meat or sweet almond glue.

Brochettes. Flame-broiled sticks of meat, one of the most famous road nourishments on Djemma el Fna.

Harira. Generally eaten during Ramadan to break the quick, little dishes of this generous lentil and chickpea soup are probably the least expensive road nourishments you can discover in Marrakech.

Hodangal. There's a bunch of slows down in the Djemma el Fna serving sweet zesty teas with stomach related properties.

Juices and smoothies. These are all over; attempt mixes of banana, date, avocado, almond, orange, and sugar stick juice, orange bloom water, nectar, figs, and rose water.

Kaab Ghazal. The great Moroccan patisserie sweet made of almond glue enclosed by baked good and molded into gazelle horns

Khobz. The staple Moroccan bread; round, level, regularly made with semolina flour and extraordinary for plunging and scooping.

Labia. Moroccan prepared beans! Generally a morning dish. Plunge your khobz.

Ma'qooda. Potato wastes plunged in egg and pan-fried.

Mechoui. Spit-cooked sheep, with the offal, were likewise accessible for the more daring.

Mint tea. It's practically difficult to leave Morocco without having attempted 'Berber Whisky'. Mint leaves fermented with green tea, poured from stature to initiate bubbles, and typically presented with a pile of sugar solid shapes.

M'smen. flatbread-like hotcakes with nectar and smen (aged margarine), flavors, or dunked in amount.

Seven. Moroccan doughnuts.

Tangia. A Marrakech uncommon of sheep and safeguarded lemon moderate cooked for the time being in the heaters that heat the hammams.

THE MARKETS

Zest Market

The business sectors of Marrakech Medina need little presentation and are apparently the city's primary draw.

The acclaimed (and UNESCO-secured) Djemaa el Fna square in its middle is the social heart of the city. The square wakes up around evening time with narrators, artists, snake-charmers, and

food

sellers. My preferred corner is the mint market, administering colossal packs of the stuff for use in mint tea and perfuming the air with its cool scent.

The

food

slows down in the Djemma el Fna don't have gained notoriety for cleanliness, although hand washing stations have as of late been introduced. The auditorium is unrivaled, yet numerous slows down are scams. Better, less expensive

food

is accessible in the littler back streets of the Medina. In any case, it's a rush and a transitional experience for individuals visiting Marrakech, so here are a few hints for eating there:

Search for a horde of local people

If somebody is bothering you to eat there, continue strolling

The better the menu in English, the less to anticipate from the food

Even though slows down showcase costs, concur what you will pay forthright and don't acknowledge any 'complimentary gifts' that will definitely be labeled onto your bill at an extortionate rate

Stick to food that is newly barbecued or seared before you

Watch that the singing oil looks light and clean

Maintain a strategic distance from plates of mixed greens and minced meats

Fish is unsafe except if you know the birthplace/stockpiling

Albeit intangible upon the appearance, the medina is isolated into littler network regions, each with a mosque, hammam, and a nearby market for products of the soil. Pro venders are additionally bunched into souks (markets) all through the medina—the zest showcase is one model (and one of the least demanding to discover).

THE COOKERY CLASSES

Marrakech is truly an outstanding and least expensive goal to take a cookery class. For all intents and purposes, each riad or inn will offer this, either in-house or at a bigger school. Classes do shift as far as what they incorporate; less expensive classes may include helping your culinary specialist with a tagine, while progressively costly classes may incorporate learning various dishes and shopping at the market for fixings.

Some all-around respected classes include:

Amal Women's Training Center

Bistro Clock

Dar Les Cigognes

Faim d'Epices

La Maison Arabe

Souk Cuisine

For

foodies

with a sweet tooth, Amal can likewise sort out a heating class.

Mint tea

THE SOUVENIRS TO BRING HOME Marrakech is shopping nirvana, you won't battle to fill your bag with treats. However, here are a couple of focuses to hold up under as a primary concern while looking for palatable trinkets: Argan oil. Morocco is the principle maker of argan oil, which is utilized in cooking and beauty care products. It's produced using the bits of argan nuts which develop on trees close Essaouira toward the south of Marrakech. Costs are high as the shelling of the nut is finished by hand, frequently by Berber ladies, and it's an undeniably mainstream fixing in beauty care products. On the off chance that the cost appears to be modest, it's likely weakened. Restorative evaluation oil is light and mellow, culinary oil will in general be darker as the nuts have been toasted before separating the oil. Search for oil put away in dim glass bundling. It has a medium smoke point however is predominantly utilized for dressings and plunging. There are various co-agents in Morocco that you can visit to purchase from the source. Flavors. The most mainstream flavor blend in Marrakech is ras el hanout. Signifying 'head of the shop', each store has its own adaptation of the blend which can contain over 20 distinct flavors. You can likewise get blends to use for reproducing your most loved tagine at home, just as shop for singular flavors, for example, cumin and cinnamon. In any case, while those engaging hills of flavors make for extraordinary photographs, flavors debase in contact with air so search for shops that store flavors in containers. Watch out for counterfeit saffron as well; this costly zest is frequently traded out for texture strands colored orange. Tagine. You'll see a lot of embellished earthenware production available to be purchased in the souks, however, these painted and coated marvels are frequently unsatisfactory for cooking because of the nearness

skam fic | girl squad | summer day

~ for skam month; week 3; day 5 - ‘your choice’ summary: post-series | the girls enjoy a day tanning. word count: ~1,400

They are all sun bathing in this order: Sana on one end, Noora, Chris, Eva, and Vilde on the other end. Sana double checks her pink hijab, even though she's pinned it in enough places for it to not budge; she wants her face to get as much sun exposure as possible and she's not a fan of ill placed tan lines.

Her phone buzzes in her hand and she smiles, eyes shut as she basks in the sun.

"It's so nice to see you so happy."

Sana opens her eyes and her smile drops a little out of habit, but Noora is smiling.

Noora's in a little more clothing than the other girls; Sana knows Noora doesn't like to talk much about her past, likes to pretend that it was a different person, a different life, but sometimes Sana wonders if Vilde triggers Noora more than she lets on.

"Do you want to come over for dinner tonight? My mother is making b'stilla for dessert, which she never does," Sana offers.

Noora grins. "You're trying to tempt me to dinner with dessert?"

"I actually don't know what she's making for dinner tonight, I just knew the dessert because Elias begged for it enough times this month," Sana admits.

Noora laughs. "Okay."

Sana's phone buzzes again and this time Sana unlocks it, smiling at Yousef's selfie – a goofy grin on his face as he points to a statue of Constantine I.

From Sana Bakkoush: LOSER 💕

From Sana Bakkoush: Shouldn't you be showing Constantine I some proper respect? He did make the city you're in the capital of the Roman Empire…

From Yousef Acar: I think he'd be okay with this if it got to make a beautiful girl smile 😁

From Yousef Acar: Besides, he had his wife and son put to death, so I don't think he deserves all that much respect.

From Sana Bakkoush: Fair enough, haha.

"How's Yousef?" Noora asks knowingly, a teasing glint in her eye.

Sana puts her phone away and sighs. "He's good. He sends me pictures everyday of where he goes."

"Aw, that's so sweet! Do you talk on the phone?"

"For a few minutes, yeah."

"You must be so excited for him to come back to Norway."

Excited yes, but also anxious and nervous. She has to think more about her faith and how it'll be tested in these uncharted waters, but she has time and right now, she's enjoying the warm weather with her friends and will focus on the good. Sana nods.

After a minute of silence, Sana turns her head to glance over at everyone – Eva and Vilde seem to be whispering about something (probably sex), Chris is on her stomach reading a book that's about as thick as her head, and Noora is looking pensive, biting her bottom lip.

"Are you okay?" Sana asks.

Noora glances over at Sana and then away. "Yeah, uh, I was just…wondering. You know, after you’ve had your well-deserved time with Yousef, maybe…maybe we could do a double-date?" Her eyes flicker back toward Sana.

Sana blinks. "Oh, uh…"

"I know…" Noora starts, pursing her mouth in thought. "William and I have been doing a lot of talking. I mean – staying up until five in the morning kind of talking – and he told me that he's been cut off from his parents."

"Oh, wow…that's…sad?" Sana guesses, unsure.

"I don't know – he's sad, but his dad is…well. Not the greatest person. William has settled on his priorities and…"

"He chose you over his dad," Sana finishes for her, even though she doubts Noora would say such a thing.

As expected, Noora flushes. "I would like to introduce him, or well, you all know him, but I want him to really know the people I consider my real family and that maybe…well, who knows, but. What do you think?"

Sana mulls over Noora's borderline incoherent request. It's hard to imagine Yousef and William sitting across from each other and having a conversation. Maybe about philosophy or something…

"We can all talk about philosophy – it'll be very grown up," Noora suggests.

Great minds really do think alike.

Sana laughs. "No offense, Noora, but what does a rich, white man have to say that we don't already know?" she jibes.

"Well, he won't be rich for much longer, but…I think he'll be interested in listening."

Sana smiles. "Well that's as good of a start as any."

"And I would like to listen too. I think we could all do with some more listening," Noora adds.

Sana remembers saying how she would take Vilde first into battle, but Sana knows now that after winning the battle, she would pick Noora to help her in the aftermath.

"Sounds good. We can plan it for sometime in September?"

Noora smiles brightly. "Great."

"Hey, Noora," Vilde calls out. "Do you keep a count of how many times you go down on William and he goes down on you? So it's even?"

Noora's gob smacked expression causes Sana to look the other way to try to contain herself. "What?" Noora asks in a strained voice.

"I say it's stupid – it's all about what happens in the moment," Eva adds. "I mean, unless it's really unbalanced to the point that it's obvious, then yeah, it's a problem, but keeping track? Seems neurotic."

"It's called being fair," Vilde insists.

Noora looks over at Sana with a pained expression that probably matches her own. "Seriously? I'm not…" Noora sighs, pinching her nose. "Eva has the right idea," she begrudgingly admits.

Sana shakes her head and unlocks her phone.

From Sana Bakkoush: So how would you feel about a double date with Noora and William?

From Yousef Acar: How would YOU feel?

From Sana Bakkoush: I asked you first.

From Yousef Acar: Yeah, but Noora one of your best friends and William is…William. Have mixed feelings about the guy from Noora.

From Sana Bakkoush: I think I'm willing to give him another chance. Everyone deserves that at least.

From Yousef Acar: OK. Sounds like a plan 👍

From Sana Bakkoush: Will you call the same time tonight?

From Yousef Acar: I actually might go to a mosque…we'll see.

He told her he went for the first time in a long time a few days ago. She's trying not to get her hopes up, but she remembers a conversation she had with Noora a long time ago, about being open and changing your opinion when you think it's right. She smiles.

From Sana Bakkoush: OK. No rush, no pressure.

From Yousef Acar: I see what you did there!!! Let me guess – you only that Bieber song for Big Sean?

From Sana Bakkoush: Of course – got a reputation to uphold.

From Yousef Acar: I'll take your secret to the grave ❤

From Sana Bakkoush: 😊

She puts her phone down and sighs, tilting her face into the sun.

"Hey, if man evolved from apes, why do we still have apes?" Chris ponders out loud.

Everyone stops talking.

"What book are you reading?" Noora questions, concerned.

"To remind us that evolution doesn't always work out the best," Sana quips and everyone laughs.

"You are correct, Sana Bakkoush," Chris announces.

"Well, at least man evolved enough for cunnilingus," Eva says and everyone dissolves into giggles.

Sana sighs and shakes her head.

"I would think there's a spectrum of sorts. Or sort of like how some people are born without wisdom teeth and some are," Noora throws out there.

"I don't have wisdom teeth," Sana says.

"Doesn't that make you a mutant?" Chris says.

"I think you need to lay of the X-Men movies," Sana scoffs.

"I have them – I need to get them removed in a year," Vilde complains.

"We can drive you," Chris offers. "You can stay at my place."

"And you guys won't film me while I'm high on painkillers?"

"Well, we don't promise that," Sana and Eva say at the same time. Eva throws her head back and laughs.

Sana grins and looks over at her arm, checking the tan line that's already starting to form. For a wild moment, she considers what Yousef would think in some distant future, which makes her blush so deeply that she forces herself to exhale, ridding herself of the thought.

At one point, Noora takes off her long sleeve shirt and reveals a camisole, a conversation about the future and what they'll do after school starts to happen, but it dissolves because nobody is ready to really talk about it, which is okay.

Chris receives a text about a party and then Eva receives a text about a different party and they debate about the merits of going to either one. It's an overall really nice summer day.
