Background of Moroccan cuisine: Moroccan cuisine has developed over the centuries through the exchange and interactions with other cultures and other nations. Moroccan cuisine is typically a mix of Berber, Arabic, Andalusian and Mediterranean influences. In traditional Moroccan cooking, common meat used include beef, goat, mutton, lamb, chicken and seafood, although in this course we'll focus on more cooking with typical NZ meats. Characteristic flavourings include preserved lemons, olives, citrus and spices such as cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, ginger, paprika, coriander, saffron, mace, cloves and others. A total of 27 spices are blended to create the famous spice mix Ras el Hanout. Commonly used herbs include mint, parsley, coriander, bay leaves and oregano.
What to bring: Bring a tea towel, small container for any leftovers and apron (optional). For the second, third, fourth and fifth weeks, Sahar will tell you what ingredients to bring to the course. Your course fee includes ingredients for the first night only ($20).
Who should attend? Those wanting to explore different flavours to add a new dimension to their home cooking. Those with an interest in North African food and culture.
