Moroccan Marinade with Preserved Lemon and Saffron
This marinade with preserved lemon and saffron is a staple of Moroccan cuisine, perfect for giving an authentic touch to your tagines and grills. The preserved lemon brings subtle acidity and unique depth, while saffron infuses floral and golden notes. If you wonder what the essential spices of Moroccan cuisine are, cumin, paprika, and turmeric are among the most used, along with saffron and ras el hanout. You can find these spices online or in Middle Eastern stores, but pay attention to their quality for the best result. I love preparing this marinade the day before; it turns a simple chicken into a dish worthy of the grand tables of Fez. Let yourself be tempted and travel with every bite!
