🌿 Vegan-Friendly Local Dishes You Must Try
While Morocco’s traditional cuisine often includes meat or dairy, many classic dishes can easily be made vegan or already are. Look out for:
Zaalouk – A smoky eggplant and tomato salad, served warm with olive oil and spices.
Taktouka – Bell peppers and tomatoes sautéed with garlic and cumin.
Lentil or chickpea-based harira – Ask for the vegan version without meat or eggs.
Bessara – A creamy fava bean soup, drizzled with olive oil.
Pair these with fresh Moroccan bread (khobz) and a pot of traditional mint tea, and you’re set.
