THE TASTE OF SAÏDIA

Saïdia is also known for its gastronomy that gives off the most enticing aromas and cuddles the palate with its spicy flavours. Lamb tagine with apricots – one of this recipe’s many variants – and rfissa, a dish that is present in all Moroccan celebrations. It is made with chicken and lentils, placed on a thinly layered pastry base that is seasoned with a spice mix called ras el hanout. These are some of the delights that will have you licking your fingers – literally in this case, as rfissa is traditionally eaten by hand. Other equally succulent and typical Moroccan dishes are couscous, chicken pastilla and almonds. The breakfasts with a mint-tea aroma, the delicious seafood delicacies, the anaesthetising fruity scent that pervades the

medina’s markets and the cinnamon-flavoured sweets will be sure to cement this corner of Morocco in your memory.
