Seafood Rice (Moroccan Paella)
If you were sitting in our family salon right now, I would serve you this. A northern Moroccan coastal specialty heavily influenced by Spain. Rice cooked with an abundance of seafood, saffron, and peas. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
