What better way to immerse yourself in the culture of a country than to taste its cuisine. Discover in this article, the essential dishes and the most emblematic of Marrakech.
Tanjiya is the symbolic dish of Marrakech culture.
Historically, it was prepared on Friday evenings by men and for
men, for certain occasions.
Tanjiya is made up of pieces of meat varnished with a marinade of salt, saffron, cumin, ras-el-hanout and a little water. Add to this a little garlic, olive oil, candied lemon and smen (rancid local butter). The Moroccan know-how and the complexity of the dish lie in its cooking.
The tanjia is prepared the day before and must cook all night in hot ashes in a jar covered with paper to be ready the next day.
