Menu for our Taste of Morocco Sampling Table on NBC 15
Rich appeared alongside Chef Sabi Attiyeh on the NBC 15 Morning Show on Sunday March 15 to showcase some of the foods of Morocco. These are the recipes for the dishes that were presented. Enjoy!
Populated by tribal Berbers, Arabs and Europeans, Morocco is an exotic land steeped in timeless traditions.
