If there’s one thing we could wish for, it would be to explore the world more — there are just so many fascinating places! And, of course, each has its own amazing cuisine to tempt us, too. But traveling takes time and money that we don’t always have. Luckily, with a little effort in the kitchen, we can take a world tour with dishes we serve up.
The recipes below are inspired by cultures across the globe from Morocco to Mexico and everywhere in between — and occasionally blending a couple classic favorites from each for a delicious new food discovery. After all, a trip to the grocery store is most likely more budget-friendly than buying a plane ticket.
Take a look to see what multicultural meal you can whip up for your family to enjoy tonight!
