My Moroccan Harira – Marisa Lopez

Author: Marisa Lopez

Harira is a soup eaten traditionally during the month of Ramadan in Morocco and other Magreb countries. This tomato-based soup is served with a side of dates and a honey-soaked sweet treat known as chebakya following a day of fasting. Filled with lentils and vermicelli noodles or rice to thicken the mixture, as well as chickpeas and a blend of fresh herbs and spices, harira is the national soup of Morocco. Its roots, however, spread across the north African region known as the Maghreb, of which Morocco is a part.

At home, even that in Egypt is not a common dish, we love it in Ramadan and in winter, I let you my Moroccan harira recipe.

  • half teaspoon black pepper
