Morocco produces a large
range of Mediterranean fruits and vegetables and even some tropical ones.
Common meats include beef, mutton and lamb, camel, chicken and seafood,
which serve as a base for the cuisine. Characteristic flavorings include lemon pickle, cold-pressed, unrefined olive oil and dried
fruits. Morocco, officially the Kingdom

Last
combo which I choose for this marathon is Moroccan Curry with Qunioa. Moroccon Chickpea curry is served as main meal
which prepared with boiled chickpeas and seasonal vegetables. I choose
vegetarian version from vaishali’s blog… made a curry with available vegetables
and served it with quinoa. I boiled quinoa in vegetable stock, so automatically
got flavor of vegetables. I love the all flavor of this curry, simple to cook
at home.
