16 Moroccan-Inspired Recipes to Spice Things Up
Oh, the dreaded dinner rut: When the mere thought of one more stir-fry or pasta bake is nap-inducing. When the doldrums hit, we like to seek inspiration from a new flavor profile. And these days, we can’t get enough of Moroccan food. It’s veggie-friendly (so much eggplant!), packed with healthy proteins (chickpeas and lentils, yum), and no one does salty-sweet better (we’re never eating chicken without apricots again). Here are 16 of our favorite Moroccan-inspired dishes.
