  • Quels Sont Les Repas Du Ramadan
    Bien gérer son alimentation durant le Ramadan Qu’est-ce que le Ramadan ? Le Ramadan correspond à une période sacrée, dans la religion musulmane, pendant laquelle le rythme et les habitudes changent. Les personnes qui le suivant doivent s’abstenir de manger et de boire du lever au coucher du soleil. C’est aussi une période où l’on prend souvent plus de temps pour cuisiner (plats, bricks, pâtisseries, pains, beignets…). Cela implique donc un bouleversement de l’alimentation quotidienne. Quels sont les repas du ramadan ? Les repas pendant le ramadan sont au nombre de trois et s’appellent différemment selon le moment de la journée où ils sont pris : « Al Ftour » à la rupture du jeûne après le coucher du soleil, « Al Ichaa » quelques heures après Al Ftour, « S’Hour » avant le lever du soleil. Certaines années, la rupture du jeûne se fait à une heure tardive. De nombreuses personnes ne prennent donc pas de second repas par manque d’appétit. Comment m’alimenter pendant le ramadan ? L’idéal est de ne pas grignoter tout au long de la soirée et de prendre trois repas réguliers. Cela signifie un petit déjeuner pris très tôt, un déjeuner (à la rupture du jeûne) et un dîner (dans la nuit). Si vous avez du mal à maintenir 3 repas essayez d’en faire 2 au minimum (un petit déjeuner et un repas au coucher du soleil). Pour éviter tout risque de carence, diversifiez votre alimentation en associant les différents groupes alimentaires : - féculents : pâtes, riz, lentilles, pois chiches, orge, pain, pommes de terre, semoule…Ils sont la source d’énergie de votre corps, ils sont essentiels pour éviter d’avoir faim ou d’être fatigué dans la journée.

    ROYAUME DU MAROC Dépôt légal : 2012MO2183 ISBN : 978-9954-604-02-1 Préface Une alimentation équilibrée est essentielle pour jouir d’une vie saine et active. Si la majorité des gens sont convaincus de la nécessité de bien se nourrir, peu ont une idée claire et précise de comment y parvenir. La pauvreté est l’une des principales causes des problèmes nutritionnels rencontrés dans les pays en développement. Toutefois, la malnutrition existe aussi dans les pays à revenu élevé. En fait, il existe deux sortes de malnutrition, diamétralement opposées. La première est due à un apport insuffisant d’aliments sains et de bonne qualité. La seconde résulte d’un apport excessif d’aliments souvent de mauvaise qualité. Pour bien se nourrir, la population doit disposer de ressources suffisantes, afin de produire et/ou se procurer les aliments nécessaires. Elle doit aussi être bien informée sur les modalités pratiques pour adopter un régime alimentaire sain. L’éducation nutritionnelle joue un rôle capital pour favoriser une bonne alimentation. Elle doit appliquer les découvertes les plus récentes des sciences nutritionnelles tout en tenant compte à la fois du contexte socio-économique et culturel. Elle doit aussi être conduite de façon à inciter véritablement la population à adopter des régimes alimentaires équilibrés et des modes de vie sains. Le présent Guide national de nutrition contribuera certainement à renforcer les actions d’éducation nutritionnelle. Ce document riche en informations pertinentes en matière de nutrition renforcera les actions d’éducation en aidant les professionnels de santé à dispenser des messages clairs, simples et efficaces pour inciter la population à adopter de bonnes habitudes alimentaires.

They are adhering less and less to the Mediterranean Diet, despite the fact that it is the basis of their identity and one of the major assets of the region. Pressures on natural resources and the emergence of new private actors are compounding the complexity of diet-related issues.

  • Moroccan Vegetable Tagine Recipe
    Moroccan Vegetable Tagine Recipe Moroccan food is very varied due to the country’s links with many other nations and cultures throughout their history: there are European, Asian and North African influences, which all add something different to the flavours of Moroccan cuisine. Spices are used widely across Moroccan cooking. Saffron, mint and lemons are grown in Morocco whereas many other spices are bought from abroad, including: • cinnamon; • cumin; • turmeric; • ginger; • paprika. Two popular spice mixes are: • • Ras el Hanout – a dried spice mix with between 12 and 100 spices. Each cook creates their own secret recipe! Moroccan families share food at a relaxed pace for a sociable time. Mint tea is shared after most meals. It is usually served very sweet with sugar added. The Tagine is a traditional Moroccan meal made in a pottery dish, also known as a tagine. This slow-cooked meal will often be served with couscous, which is like a very fine pasta that becomes light and fluffy when cooked. This gluten-free vegetable tagine is packed with healthy ingredients like lentils and chickpeas. visit twinkl.com Moroccan Vegetable Tagine Recipe Ingredients • 1 tbsp olive oil • 375g sweet potatoes Did You cut into chunks Know...? • • juice of 1 large orange, For some dishes, • 2 thickly sliced leeks plus peel thickly sliced Moroccans eat with their hands using • • 500g toasted, chopped bread as a • 2 tsp ground coriander mixed nuts (optional) utensil. • 2 tsp ground cumin • 400ml water • • small bunch chopped coriander • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon • natural • 400g can of chopped bio-yoghurt tomatoes (optional) • 1 red pepper cut into chunks • 1 yellow pepper cut into chunks • 400g can of chickpeas • 100g dried split red lentils Method 1.

  • Exploring Evolving Moroccan Identities in the Diaspora SUE SAMUELSON AWARD for FOODWAYS SCHOLARSHIP
    Exploring Evolving Moroccan Identities in the Diaspora SUE SAMUELSON AWARD FOR FOODWAYS SCHOLARSHIP 2nd PLACE WINNER 2013. By: M. Ruth Dike Introduction Moving to a new country can have a profound impact on the way people think about themselves, their home country, and their culture. Immigrants experience a push and pull between the new culture they are being exposed to and the traditional culture of their homeland. Food can serve as a way to reinforce ethnic identity for immigrants. One of my informants, Abdel (pseudonym), spoke particularly eloquently about why he believes that Moroccans in America are exceptionally attached to their cuisine and tradition: “When you are away from home, you try to associate with anything that will bring you closer to home. That’s why we [stick] with the cooking; we try to keep the tradition” (Naifeh 2012). While Abdel’s view is not shared by all of my informants, it expresses the importance of food for many Moroccan Bostonians. In this article I investigate challenges faced, and some solutions sought, by Moroccans living in Boston in fall 2012 who want to keep their Moroccan traditions alive through foodways. Building on an earlier study of Moroccan cuisine I conducted over four months in Rabat, Morocco, in spring 2011 (Dike 2012) , I explore evolving Moroccan Bostonian identity through food. My questions include: Is Moroccan cuisine an important aspect of Bostonian Moroccans’ cultural identity? What are the challenges and solutions to cooking Moroccan cuisine in America? Has the Moroccan community blended Moroccan and American dishes or modified Moroccan recipes, and for what reasons? How do the thoughts and food practices of first and second generation immigrants compare? I examine how and why Moroccan foodways are changing in the new North American context.
