LAWAMA
Finally I rolled into Moulay and was dropped by my taxi driver right outside local ripper Fettah Lamara’s restaurant and ‘Lawamas’ accommodation. Boujmaa and Kauli were both there to meet me and the moment I stepped in through the front door of Lawamas, I wished I’d booked to stay longer than three days! I walked straight into the restaurant area – that overlooks the sea, which incidentally was already white capping with logo-to-mast-high waves. Fettah had a chicken Tajine prepared for lunch and a rich aroma filled the room. The Tajine is a traditional Moroccan pot used to slowly stew food. All the ingredients are cooked together and the moisture during the cooking hits the dome shape of the Tajine and falls back down into the mix. Before I left home I was kind of nervous about the food in Morocco, but if this meal was anything to go by, I certainly wouldn’t be complaining.
