Essaouira Octopus Tajine
Let me share a family secret with you. A specialty from the windy city of Essaouira. Tender octopus slow-cooked in a spicy tomato chermoula. 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.
