After a day’s yoga and surfing, there’s nothing better than a hearty home-cooked meal to satisfy your appetite. Luckily for our guests, our in-house chefs treat them to delicious food every day that nourishes the body, as well as celebrates the Moroccan heritage. Each of our locations, as well as L’Auberge restaurant and Cafe Mouja, have their own wonderful and unique recipes that bring people back time and time again!
Today we’re sharing our Baghrir recipe – a popular breakfast item often served at Amouage and Villa Mandala. It’s a traditional Moroccan dish that’s commonly known as “1000 holes pancake”. They’re vegan and low-fat, plus their ‘thousand’ holes make it perfect for drizzling your favourite spread, like our amazing Sweet Orange Blossom sauce.
Take a look at this simple yet delightful pancake recipe to wet your Moroccan appetite (and all in traditional Moroccan measurements for added fun!).
