Couscous Friday Moroccan Cooking Class and Casablanca Market Tour

You’ll begin your private Moroccan cooking class adventure in a Casablanca market to shop for fresh ingredients, and then move on to a home kitchen to chop, steam and stew your way to couscous made the traditional way. First you’ll master how to make a rich, well-seasoned broth that’s essential to a memorable couscous. Next you’ll learn how to properly handle semolina couscous by tossing it with incremental additions of water, and then how to steam it several times in a couscoussier. In between you’ll make a sweet, spicy caramelized onion garnish called tfaya, and help prepare some nem-like appetizers called briouats. When the work is done, you’ll sit down to some of the best comfort food to be found anywhere in the world. Be sure to save room for a follow up course of fresh fruit, Moroccan cookies and mint tea.
