Spicy Morocco – Tangier
Situated on the northern coast of Africa, only a 1-hour boat ride away from southern Spain, and with a decidedly French history, many Tangier recipes reflect this European influence.
Four spices commonly used in Moroccan cooking are also used in Spanish recipes: saffron, cayenne, cumin, and black pepper.
Tangier cuisine sets itself apart with a host of additional spices: chili, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and white pepper.
Grocery shopping in the Kasbah in Tangier is a colorful experience. This store specialized in canned goods and lentils.
