9 Scrumptious Moroccan Dishes You Need to Try
7. Babbouche
If you’re looking for a more unique and usual dish, something to really surprise your tastebuds – try Babbouche. It’s a dish that originated in Morocco and it’s predominantly made of snails. Yup, it’s as weird as it sounds, but it’s delicious. Moroccan’s believe it’s great for your digestion. Babbouche is kind of like snail soup, you are usually served a bowl of snails in broth and you eat it by picking snails out of their shell with a toothpick and having it with a spoonful of broth.
8. Briouat
Briouat, which can also be spelt as briwat, is a Moroccan sweet pastry that’s often sold in street markets. There are actually sweet and savory briouats but the sweet one is usually filled with almonds, deep-fried and glazed with honey. The savory option is usually filled with meat and cheese that’s seasoned with pepper and lemon.
9. Chebakia
Chebakia, also often called shebakia, is a classic Moroccan dessert. It’s like a very sweet and sticky cookie made of layers of filo dough shaped like a flower. It’s deep-fried and drenched in syrup (a mix of honey and rosewater) and then heavily sprinkled with sesame seeds. It’s very sweet but if you have a sweet tooth you’ll love it. Chebakia is also great with traditional Moroccan mint tea.
