Brochettes
Brochettes are ‘skewers’, and describe the form of a dish or the method of cooking and serving pieces of food, especially grilled meat or seafood, on skewers.
Brochettes, A popular Street Food in Morocco
Brochettes are a beloved street food that can be found throughout the vibrant country of Morocco. These skewered delights are a staple of the local cuisine and are usually served simply with bread.
The meat used in brochettes can range from turkey, chicken, lamb, to beef, but anything that can be threaded onto a skewer is considered fair game.
Brochettes marinade
What truly makes brochettes unique is the marinade. Every household has its own special blend of herbs and spices that have been passed down through the generations. The marinade usually consists of a variety of spices that can include cumin, paprika, coriander, saffron, and many others. This gives the meat a flavourful and aromatic taste that is sure to tantalize your taste buds!
Whether you’re wandering through the bustling streets of Marrakesh or exploring the vibrant culture of Casablanca, you’re sure to come across brochettes. These delicious skewers are a must-try for any visitor to Morocco and are the perfect way to experience the country’s rich culinary history.
