Delícias Marroquinas - O Despertar dos Sentidos
A culinária marroquina é o resultado de séculos de intercâmbio cultural e influências de várias civilizações. Com raízes que remontam ao século VII a.C., ela é uma fusão das cozinhas árabe, berbere, andaluza e mediterrânea, com toques europeus e subsaarianos. Os berberes, o grupo étnico dominante da região há mais de 2.000 anos, estabeleceram as bases da culinária com ingredientes locais como azeitonas, figos e tâmaras.
Com o passar dos séculos, os romanos, fenícios, cartajineses e, mais notavelmente, os árabes trouxeram novos ingredientes e técnicas culinárias, incluindo pães e grãos, além de especiarias como canela, gengibre, açafrão e cominho. A influência judaica também é significativa, especialmente nas técnicas de conservação e picles. Mais tarde, os mouros da Espanha introduziram o pastilla, e os franceses e britânicos também deixaram sua marca na culinária marroquina mais recentemente.
Vamos viajar pela cozinha marroquina e conhecer alguns de seus famosos pratos. Bom apetite!

Taste of Morocco - Awakening the Senses
Moroccan cuisine reflects centuries of cultural exchange and influences from diverse civilizations. Dating back to the seventh century B.C., it merges Arabic, Tamazight, Andalusian, and Mediterranean flavors, complemented by European and sub-Saharan elements. The Imazighen, Morocco's predominant ethnic group for over 2,000 years, laid the groundwork by utilizing local ingredients like olives, figs, and dates.
Throughout history, the Romans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Arabs introduced new ingredients and cooking techniques, including breads, grains, and spices such as cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cumin. The Jewish influence is notable for its preservation and pickling methods. Later, the Moors from Spain introduced the pastilla, and more recently, French and British influences have further shaped Moroccan cuisine.
