Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Meskouta is a traditional Moroccan cake usually served at tea time or at breakfast, most often with hot mint tea or coffee. Cooks make it in several flavors, with orange, lemon and vanilla among the best known versions. The orange version is tied to the season, because the cake was traditionally made in the winter when oranges ripened. It is a cake of Moroccan cuisine, typically paired with a hot drink.
