Recipe Story

Mrouzia is one of the most important dishes of the Moroccan cuisine. It is a sweeten-salted tajine flavored with honey, cinnamon and almonds balanced by spices of the Ras el hanout blend of spices. I love this dish and can make it for any feast or celebration but it is a hit among my family and has to be made for Eid.
