Moroccan Breakfast

Moroccan breakfast is simple by nature.  Pancakes, fatty sausages, and loads of potatoes are not normal fare.  Instead, you’ll find something lighter though usually carbohydrate-laden.

Moroccan doughnut.

Smen is Morocco’s funky fermented butter that lasts for years!! If you are a fan of the funkiest of blue cheese, give smen a try on its own on bread or crackers – but remember that a little goes a long way. Otherwise, try incorporating it into your cooking. Most definitely give it a try in a traditional tagine (which is my favorite Moroccan dish!!!) but also don’t be afraid to get a little creative. Use it to sear meat, fry eggs, or add a little to homemade harissa.

 

lkhlie : لخليع : it is lamb mixed with herbs and spices dried in the sun like « beef jerky «  served at breakfast with eggs.

Typical Moroccan Breakfast Options

If you’re visiting Morocco and staying either at someone’s home or in a riad or hotel you’ll be presented with a variety of different foods. However, most people eat a simple breakfast of bread with olive oil and tea. Some things you might find are;

  • baguettes or khobz – Moroccan bread (always)
  • croissants or other types of pastries
  • olive oil to be eaten with the bread, slathered on as we might do with butter
  • butter
  • some type of jam
  • Moroccan mortadella – which is meat and it is processed turkey bologna.
  • La Vache Qui Rit cheese triangles – known in the US as Laughing Cow cheese
  • m’semmen(special occasion)
  • beghrir (special occasion)
  • you might also find some fruit or yogurt such as traditional Moroccan Raib
  • eggs/omelet in some cases
  • eggs with khlii (a type of salted lamb or beef)
  • mint tea
  • coffee
  • orange juice

I find Moroccan breakfast to be a contrast from other meals.  It surprises me how vast the styles, flavors, and complexities of lunch and dinner meals can be, while breakfasts and even sweets to some degree are pretty basic.
