Moroccan Liver Recipe
One of Morocco's most common street foods is liver. It's available at almost every weekly souk and is a mainstay at many restaurants across the country. This is actually one of our favorite fast food choice when we are in a rush or want a takeaway dinner.
The Berbers, who were Morocco's first residents, are credited with creating the delicacy known as Moroccan liver. Berber tribes raised sheep and goats, and they had unique methods for preparing the meat. One of the most well-known methods was to roast the meat slowly over an open flame. This method of cooking gave the beef a luscious, delicate texture.Over time, the dish developed and became more refined due to the impact of Arabs in Morocco and interactions with various civilizations, including Andalusian and Jewish cultures. The meal underwent changes and diversification with the introduction of new flavors, spices, and cooking methods.
