Felfla (Fried Green Pepper Salad)

Salad

Felfla (Fried Green Pepper Salad)

Sweet green peppers fried soft in olive oil then simmered with garlic and tomato into a glossy, silky salad you scoop with bread. Felfla is a staple of the Moroccan cooked-salad spread — mellow, slippery and garlicky, sitting somewhere between a salad and a jammy relish.

Beetroot and Orange Salad with Orange-Blossom

Salad

Beetroot and Orange Salad with Orange-Blossom

Sweet cooked beetroot cut through with fresh orange segments, a little orange-blossom water and a coriander-lemon dressing — a jewel-bright Moroccan salad that balances earthy and citrus. It appears on winter mezze tables when oranges are at their best, and its colour alone earns its place.

Shaved Fennel, Orange and Olive Salad

Salad

Shaved Fennel, Orange and Olive Salad

Crisp raw fennel shaved thin, tossed with sweet orange segments, black olives and a cumin-lemon dressing — a cool, aniseed-bright salad that Moroccan coastal kitchens love in citrus season. It is all crunch and perfume, the perfect foil to something rich off the grill.

Moroccan Herb and Lentil Salad

Salad

Moroccan Herb and Lentil Salad

Firm little green lentils tossed while just warm with a cumin-lemon dressing, masses of coriander and parsley, spring onion and preserved lemon — a herby, protein-rich salad that eats as a light meal.

Cooked Courgette Chermoula Salad

Salad

Cooked Courgette Chermoula Salad

Courgettes cooked down soft then dressed in a garlicky chermoula of coriander, cumin, paprika and lemon — the courgette cousin of zaalouk. It is mellow and jammy, the kind of humble cooked salad that quietly steals the show on a mezze table, scooped up with warm bread.

Wilted Spinach and Preserved Lemon Salad

Salad

Wilted Spinach and Preserved Lemon Salad

A cooked-greens salad in the spirit of bakoula but made with spinach — wilted down with garlic, olive oil, cumin and paprika, then sharpened with chopped preserved lemon and olives. It reduces to a dense, savoury tangle you eat cool with bread, tangy and iron-rich.

Chickpea, Cumin and Herb Salad

Salad

Chickpea, Cumin and Herb Salad

Warm chickpeas tossed in a cumin-paprika-lemon dressing with red onion, tomato and a shower of coriander and parsley — a bright, protein-packed salad that works as a light lunch or a mezze plate. The chickpeas soak up the spiced dressing while still warm, so every bite carries flavour.

Moroccan Potato and Olive Salad

Salad

Moroccan Potato and Olive Salad

Waxy potatoes tossed while warm with olives, preserved lemon, garlic and a cumin-paprika-lemon dressing, then finished with coriander and parsley — a robust, tangy potato salad with no mayonnaise in sight. It travels well and turns up at picnics, mezze tables and alongside grilled fish.

Orange and Cinnamon Salad

Salad

Orange and Cinnamon Salad

Sliced sweet oranges fanned on a plate, dusted with cinnamon and a little sugar and sometimes a drop of orange-blossom water — the classic Moroccan way to end a meal or refresh the palate between courses. Simple to the point of being barely a recipe, but the fragrance and colour make it feel special.

Cucumber, Mint and Orange-Blossom Salad

Salad

Cucumber, Mint and Orange-Blossom Salad

Cool cucumber grated or finely diced, tossed with fresh mint, a little sugar and orange-blossom water and a squeeze of lemon — a refreshing, faintly sweet Moroccan summer salad that sits somewhere between savoury and dessert. It resets the palate on a hot day like nothing else.

Roasted Beetroot and Cumin Salad

Salad

Roasted Beetroot and Cumin Salad

Beetroot roasted until sweet and concentrated, then tossed warm in a cumin, garlic and lemon dressing with coriander — earthier and deeper than the boiled version. Roasting drives off the wateriness and brings out an almost caramelised sweetness that the cumin frames perfectly.

Moroccan White Bean Salad

Salad

Moroccan White Bean Salad

Tender white beans dressed while warm with garlic, cumin, paprika and lemon, then tossed with tomato, red onion, olives and herbs — the salad form of loubia. It is hearty enough to be lunch, tangy and garlicky, and it only gets better as the beans sit in the dressing.

Grated Radish and Orange Salad

Salad

Grated Radish and Orange Salad

Peppery black or red radish grated fine and softened with orange juice, a little sugar and lemon into a refreshing, faintly sweet winter salad. It is an old Moroccan combination — the heat of the radish tamed by sweet citrus — that wakes up a heavy meal with its crunch and bite.

Chopped Onion, Tomato and Herb Salad

Salad

Chopped Onion, Tomato and Herb Salad

The finely chopped raw salad that comes with grilled meat all over Morocco — tomato, onion and green pepper diced small, tossed with coriander, cumin and lemon into a fresh, crunchy relish. It cuts through fatty brochettes and kefta and needs nothing more than a good knife and ripe tomatoes.

Fresh Fava Bean and Herb Salad

Salad

Fresh Fava Bean and Herb Salad

Young broad beans, double-podded to their bright green centres and tossed while warm with cumin, garlic, olive oil, lemon and mint — a spring salad that celebrates the short fava season. It is a little labour to peel them, but the sweet, buttery beans reward every minute.

Roasted Aubergine and Pepper Salad

Salad

Roasted Aubergine and Pepper Salad

Aubergines and peppers charred until smoky, peeled and chopped, then folded with garlic, cumin, tomato and olive oil into a soft, smoky salad in the taktouka-zaalouk family. The char is everything here — it gives the whole dish a grilled, campfire depth that raw versions never reach.

Orange-Blossom Muhalabia (Milk Pudding)

A silky, set milk pudding thickened with cornflour and perfumed with orange-blossom water, poured into little bowls and topped with pistachios and a spoon of syrup. Muhalabia is the elegant, wobbling milk dessert of Moroccan and wider North African tables — light, floral and cool from the fridge.

Dessert

Semolina and Honey Cake (Harcha-Style Sweet)

A dense, buttery semolina cake soaked in honey syrup and orange-blossom water — moist, golden and fragrant, in the family of Maghrebi semolina sweets. It keeps beautifully, the syrup sinking deeper each day, and a square with mint tea is a proper Moroccan afternoon.

Soft, spiced cookies rolled around a paste of dates and toasted almonds, scented with cinnamon and orange-blossom water — chewy in the middle, tender at the edge. They are a everyday Moroccan sweet-tin staple, less fussy than makroud but with the same date-and-nut soul.

Rice Flour Milk Pudding (Mhalbi)

Dessert

Rice Flour Milk Pudding (Mhalbi)

A close cousin of muhalabia, set with rice flour instead of cornflour for a slightly more delicate, almost powdery-smooth texture. Scented with orange-blossom, cooled until just set and dusted with cinnamon and crushed nuts, it is the gentle milk pudding Moroccan families make for children and elders alike.
