harira

a traditional Moroccan soup made with lentils, chickpeas, tomatoes, and spices

Harira is a traditional Moroccan soup that is usually served during Ramadan, as it is considered a nourishing and filling meal to break the fast. The soup is made with a base of tomatoes, lentils, and chickpeas, and is often flavored with a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, and ginger. The soup can also contain lamb or beef, and is typically thickened with flour or egg yolks to give it a creamy texture. Harira is often served with a side of dates and a sweet pastry, such as chebakia, for a balanced and complete meal.
