Moroccan cuisine: 

Hi every body ,so today I'm going to share with you something important which    belongs to my culture: Moroccan cuisine. 
Moroccan cuisine is typically mediterranean and it is also a mix of Berber and Andalousian cuisine . It is made essentially of fresh products,olive oil and spices. The dishe I love most is "moroccan meat balls. 
It is familial, convivial, light and easy to prepare. I love to prepare  it  and share it with my friends on sundays and picnics;and don't forget to keep some for your neighbours!!!
Here is the recipe:

This is the method:
