Ouzoud Waterfalls, Morocco
Ouzoud Waterfalls (French: Cascades d'Ouzoud) - located in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km north-east of Marrakech, in Morocco.
Ouzoud means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber, this theory is confirmed by the frequent mills in the region.
The bottom of the falls is accessible through a shaded path of olive trees. At the summit of the falls, there exist a dozen of old small mills that are still in use.
It is the most visited site of the region. In the vicinity, Green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ), are found.
Many local and national associations lead projects to protect and preserve the site.

Fava Bean Purée in the Moroccan Style
 |
| [Photo: Clifford A. Wright] |
A rafis is an interesting dish with a history. We have a record of a Tunisian sheik of Qairouan (then the capital city of today’s Tunisia) in the fourteenth century who once a year shared a rafis, a dish made of wheat flour, dates, honey, butter, and other ingredients, in a celebration with the students of his zawiyya, a hospice and theological school.
A recipe preserved from the fifteenth century tells us how to make rafis: “take pieces of bread smaller than an olive and mix with dates and honey until it looks like it will break apart. Work the mixture for a long time with the hands not over a fire until you get a rafis.” But this rafissa is nothing of the kind; it is a purée.
Makes 6 servings
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
3 pounds fresh fava beans in their pods, shelled
2 garlic cloves, mashed in a mortar with 1 teaspoon salt until mushy
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seeds
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat then cook the fava beans for 10 minutes.
Drain, then pinch off the peel and place the beans in a food processor with the garlic paste.
With the machine running, pour the olive oil in through the feed tube.
Stop for a moment and add the paprika and cumin.
Continue running the processor until the beans are smooth.
Spread the purée on a flat, round platter and serve with portions of pita bread. You can garnish the platter with black olives and small pieces of chopped tomatoes.
Note: Serve with black olives, fried flatbread chips, chopped tomatoes, and radishes.
