Transport your kitchen to the vibrant markets of Marrakech! In this immersive, hands-on workshop at Mise en Place, we’ll explore the bold, aromatic world of Moroccan cuisine. You’ll learn how to layer spices, balance sweet and savory notes, and master the slow-simmered magic of the Tagine. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a curious foodie, this class will give you the techniques to bring the “Oasis” home to Roswell.

The Menu

• The Main:
  • Classic Apricot & Almond Chicken Tagine: A fragrant, slow-cooked masterpiece featuring tender chicken, honey-soaked apricots, and toasted almonds, seasoned with our signature Ras el Hanout spice blend.
• The Easy Sides:
  • Herbed Lemon Couscous: A light, fluffy base tossed with fresh parsley, mint, and a bright squeeze of lemon to soak up every drop of the tagine sauce.
  • Roasted Cumin Carrots with Honey: Sweet spring carrots roasted until tender-crisp with earthy cumin seeds and a drizzle of wildflower honey.
• The Dessert:
  • Ghoriba (Moroccan Chewy Almond Cookies): These gluten-free gems are a staple in Moroccan tea culture. They are incredibly easy to make, naturally nutty, and cracked on top with a beautiful dusting of powdered sugar.

What You’ll Learn:

• Spice Building: How to toast and bloom spices like cumin, ginger, and cinnamon for maximum flavor.
• The Tagine Method: Understanding how the conical shape of the tagine creates a self-basting environment (and how to replicate it in a Dutch oven!).
