From tagines and salads to msemen and mint tea, these Moroccan eats are worth trying on a vegetarian-friendly trip

Indian travellers might find food in Morocco surprisingly familiar. There is bread at every meal, tea that arrives at the end, plenty of lentils and chickpeas, spices that we recognise, and vegetables that share access with our country.

But Morocco is not the easiest if you are strictly vegetarian - menus can be meat-heavy, broths are not always veg, and a “vegetable” dish may still be cooked with meat stock. If you are Jain, vegan or strictly vegetarian, you will need to ask more carefully. 

But if you are vegetarian-ish - the kind of traveller who eats vegetarian most of the time, is comfortable with experimentation, and can work around limited options - Morocco has plenty to offer.
