A Quick Journey Through Morocco

If you have the luxury of spending a month or two in Morocco you'll be able to really immerse yourself in one of the most fascinating countries on the African continent. So much to see and do even a week or two is a marvelous way to experience a truly amazing country.

Get Inspired and take a trip to MOROCCO:



M O R O C C A N   CO U S CO U S

2 cups water, 1 cup couscous, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1 shallot, chopped, 6 cloves of garlic, chopped in quarters, 1/2 cup golden raisins, 1 tablespoon butter, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 cup slivered almonds, 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes dipped in olive oil

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in the couscous. Cook about 10 to 15 minutes until couscous absorbs all the water. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the yellow onion, shallot, garlic, and then the raisins. Once gently cooked add the couscous to the raisin mixture with the softened butter. Place in a bowl and add the slivered almonds, sun dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix one more time and serve the dish on separate plates.

Eat, Eat, Eat……the cuisine in Morocco is some of  the finest in the world

Pick a beach to relax on the Atlantic or Mediterranean or both

Don't miss Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco

Check out a Hammam, a public steam bath that is part of the Moroccan culture. A Hammam can be found in almost every town in Morocco. It is located near a Mosque since it is customary for Muslims to wash themselves before praying.
