Marrakech, Morocco
6 dishes to eat in Marrakech, what is in them, and where they belong.
Slow-cooked in the conical clay pot that names it — lamb with prune, chicken with preserved lemon and olive.
Steamed three times over broth and served after Friday prayers. Traditionally a Friday dish rather than an everyday one.
A Marrakech speciality: beef or lamb sealed in an urn and cooked for hours in the ashes of the hammam furnace.
Tomato, lentil and chickpea soup with a lemon finish, the traditional break of the Ramadan fast.
Layered square griddle bread and spongy semolina pancakes, eaten with honey and butter at breakfast.
A sweet-savoury pigeon or chicken pie in warqa pastry, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar.
