Moroccan Mixed Grill

Moroccan grilling (mechoui and mixed grills) has its roots in ancient Berber and Arab nomadic cooking, where meat was cooked over open fire or buried in hot coals. Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fna square is the world's most famous open-air grill, where smoke from hundreds of stalls has filled the air for over 1,000 years. Kefta — spiced ground meat — is the backbone of Moroccan street food culture. The blend of cumin, paprika, coriander and fresh herbs used in kefta has been passed down unchanged through generations. Mechoui (whole roasted lamb) is reserved for celebrations and national holidays.
