New York | For Lamb Stew, I Trust the Morrocans! 🌆🌟
🌸New York is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. One day, I got a sudden craving for Moroccan food, and there’s one place that has to be on the list! Cafe Mogador 📍 East Village, New York 101 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10009 💰 Around $30 per person Lamb Shank Couscous When the whole, tender, boneless lamb leg was served, I was stunned! 🍖 The lamb had been stewed for so long that it was effortless to pull off the bone with a spoon. Mixed with the sauce and the special base, the distinct lamb flavor was strong—but I loved it! 🌊 The butternut squash underneath was smooth and delicate. The overall taste was quite light, making it feel like a guilt-free meal. The caramelized onions were sweet, and the dish included pumpkin, potatoes, zucchini, and beans. Every ingredient and cooking detail exudes exotic charm. If you’re a lamb lover, this is a must-try! 🌟 🏙️Mezze + Eggplant & Tahini $9 This is an appetizer. The Mezze bread is soft and slightly sticky, almost like it has a hint of glutinous rice flour. It has a mild, sweet aftertaste. The eggplant has a distinct smoky aroma, likely from grilling or smoking. 🎢 The tahini sauce was a first for me—it has a creamy texture, rich without being overly sweet like cream, adding a smooth layer to the eggplant while still keeping the dish light and highlighting the smoky flavor. I loved the Mezze; it’s the kind of bread that gets more flavorful the more you chew. 🥪 🍃 #NewYork #NewYorkCuisine 🌆🌟
