Our Moroccan recipes category brings the warmth, spice, and soul of North African cooking into your kitchen—rooted in the flavors we’ve come to love through multiple trips to Morocco. This collection celebrates traditional Moroccan dishes made with beans, lentils, and other legumes that are staples of everyday meals across the country.
From richly spiced lentil stews to slow-simmered chickpeas in tomato sauce, these recipes showcase how Moroccan cuisine elevates humble ingredients into deeply satisfying, aromatic dishes. You’ll find plant-based favorites like harira (a chickpea and lentil soup), loubia (white beans in spiced tomato sauce), and bessara (a creamy fava bean dip)—each one inspired by meals we’ve enjoyed in local homes and souk-side cafés.
Moroccan cooking is all about layering flavor with ingredients like cumin, paprika, cinnamon, preserved lemon, and fresh herbs. These recipes are easy to follow, yet bold in taste—perfect for weeknight dinners or make-ahead lunches.
Whether you’re new to Moroccan cuisine or looking to expand your legume-based meals, this category invites you to explore the vibrant world of Moroccan flavors through nourishing, bean-filled recipes that reflect both tradition and our personal journey.
