These are the building blocks of the Moroccan flavour profile, along with <em>ras el hanout<\/em>. Oddly enough for a fundamental element, ras el hanout is a mixture of spices with no prescribed ingredients or amounts, though cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, anise, mace (nutmeg\u2019s cousin), cinnamon, clove, ginger, turmeric and assorted peppers are usually present. \u201cIt\u2019s a typical mix \u2013 what we use in tagines, couscous, lamb, everything,\u201d Harabida says. Even with all these flavours, Moroccan cuisine is generally mild, but a heavy dose of <em>harissa<\/em>, a spicy paste of red chillies, coriander, cumin and garlic, will heat things up.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_5\" class=\"body-block body-block-single-image large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <picture class=\"article-title-image\">\n        <!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/making_Bread.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\"><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/making_Bread.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobile_large size-mobile_large\" alt=\"Bread on the griddle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/making_Bread.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/making_Bread-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/making_Bread-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/making_Bread-360x201.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>    <\/picture>\n                        <\/div>\n<ul class=\"element-share\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/feed?app_id=998607926923032&#038;display=popup&#038;redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmagazine.fourseasons.com%2Fclose.html&#038;link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;picture=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F10%2Fmaking_Bread.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F10%2Fmaking_Bread.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_6\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<header class=\"block-header text-block\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title\">BREADS<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>Called <em>khobz<\/em> in Arabic, bread is served at every meal. <em>Batbout<\/em>, similar to a pita, may be stuffed with sweet or savoury fillings.

Green peas, carrots, tomatoes, garlic, paprika, cumin, harissa, lemon juice and coriander simmer inside the vessel before she tops them with grilled squid, prawns, mussels, fish and a hot pepper. In the morning, the hard-working earthenware tagine slowly cooks eggs, tomatoes, onion, peppers and spices such as paprika and cumin for a kind of Moroccan shakshouka.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_14\" class=\"body-block body-block-single-image large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <picture class=\"article-title-image\">\n        <!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/protein_morocco.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\"><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/protein_morocco.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobile_large size-mobile_large\" alt=\"Freshly shucked oyster\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/protein_morocco.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/protein_morocco-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/protein_morocco-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/protein_morocco-360x201.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>    <\/picture>\n                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"byline\">\n<p class=\"image-block-credit image-credit\">Photo by Leah Walker<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"element-share\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/feed?app_id=998607926923032&#038;display=popup&#038;redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmagazine.fourseasons.com%2Fclose.html&#038;link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;picture=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F09%2Fprotein_morocco.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F09%2Fprotein_morocco.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_15\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<header class=\"block-header text-block\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title\">MEATS AND FISH<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>Whole roasted lamb, or <em>mechoui<\/em>, cooks in pits in Marrakech\u2019s medina, but Executive Chef Guillaume Blanchard of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/casablanca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Four Seasons Casablanca<\/a> has other quarry in mind. \u201cBeing at the doorstep of the Atlantic, we\u2019re lucky to have a great variety of fresh fish,\u201d Blanchard says. \u201cNothing gives me greater joy than a morning meeting with my favourite fisherman, Khalil, to handpick his best catch of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Kefta<\/em>, made from ground\u00a0beef\u00a0or lamb, turns up on skewers, as the meatballs in a tagine, or in hamburger-type patties.
