What should you stock up on for Moroccan cooking?
Couscous and couscous-style pasta
Couscous is the base of the traditional Friday meal. Fine couscous Dalia (1kg) cooks into light, fluffy grains, while barley couscous Dalia (1kg) is a heartier whole-grain option. For soups and stews, Kenz mhamssa (500g) is a larger, pearl-style grain.
Spices
A small set of spices covers most Moroccan dishes. Tayeb ras el hanout is the all-purpose blend for tagines, couscous and rubs. Our guide to the six Tayeb spices every kitchen needs explains what each one does.
Tomato paste
Aicha double concentrated tomato paste adds depth to stews, sauces and shakshuka. A pack of six jars makes sense if you cook with it weekly.
Tea and sauces
Sultan Baroud green tea (200g) is a classic base for Moroccan mint tea, and Tayeb Samourai sauce is a spicy, creamy condiment for fries, wraps and grilled meats.
How do you decide what is worth buying in bulk?
Buy what you already use at least every couple of weeks, and what keeps well. For anything you have not tried, order one first.
