November 18: Celebrate Moroccan Independence Day with Recipes Featuring Couscous
Moroccan Independence Day is a huge holiday for people in Morocco, and is of course celebrated with huge meals and family time. If you'd like to get in on the fun, then Dishfolio has all the information you need to cook up some delicious traditional couscous dishes. There is also culinary photography to guide you.
Couscous dishes can involve meat and vegetables, and are cooked in a variety of ways. The ingredient itself is a traditional type of semolina, and it is not only common in Morocco, but also Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania. Today, it has become an internationally popular food, and was even voted as the third favorite food of French people two years ago.
The first reference to couscous was found in a North African cookbook from the 13th century, which had a recipe that was claimed to be well known all over the world. Today, North Africa enjoys couscous with a range of other foods, and to celebrate the independence of Morocco, it's a great dish to have. Enjoy crock pot recipes on one of the most celebrated Moroccan holidays!
