About This Dish
A modern Moroccan street food creation that has taken the country by storm over the past decade. A freshly cooked msemen is spread with Nutella and topped with sliced banana, then folded into a pocket and served warm. This is the young generation's favorite snack, available at night-time food stalls across urban Morocco. It represents the creative fusion of traditional Moroccan bread-making with global flavors — a combination that would horrify purists but delights millions. The warm, flaky msemen combined with melted chocolate hazelnut spread and soft banana is admittedly irresistible.
