Harira (Moroccan Lentil and Tomato Soup) - African Recipe
Harira is a traditional Moroccan soup that serves as the centerpiece of iftar, the meal that breaks the fast during Ramadan. It's a rich melding of lentils, chickpeas, tomatoes, and an aromatic medley of herbs and spices, offering warmth and nourishment after a day of fasting. While traditionally consumed during Ramadan, Harira is also enjoyed as a filling everyday meal, especially in the colder months. It is typically accompanied by dates and chebakia (Moroccan sesame cookies) during Ramadan, and crusty bread on other occasions. Eating Harira is a communal experience, bringing family and friends together over a shared pot of this comforting soup.
