Gazelle horn - Dollar Morocco
Moroccan cuisine is very popular in Europe, particularly in France, where couscous regularly ranks among the top five favorite dishes. Gazelle horns are another Moroccan specialty that has crossed borders. During your stay in Morocco, don't miss the opportunity to try authentic gazelle horns at the souk or in a local café. And to get there easily, consider renting a car.
Morocco has many traditional culinary specialties, but some are better known internationally than others. This is the case, for example, with the gazelle horn, a small Moroccan pastry shaped like a gazelle's horn.
A simple recipe
Moroccan gazelle horns are “dry” pastries, without cream or fondant. Gazelle horns are characterized by a rather sandy dough filled with a sweet filling. This filling consists of:
almond powder, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, and orange blossom water.
Once baked, gazelle horns are sometimes sprinkled with icing sugar. In Morocco, gazelle horns are traditionally served during celebrations. But they are also enjoyed throughout the year, as a dessert or snack, accompanied by mint tea. During your stay in Morocco, take a sweet break during your day of sightseeing and try some authentic Moroccan gazelle horns at the souk or in a tea room.
Dollar Morocco's tip: rent a small car to go and eat gazelle horns in a Moroccan souk.
