Harira Recipe

This is one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog back in October. It's a soup that I've always loved. Chunky, rich and delicious, it is the quintessential Moroccan soup. I couldn't wait long to post it.

With millions of people celebrating Ramadan this month and through mid-September, I thought I'd post it again. Consuming it during this season is customary in Morocco but hey, who needs a reason or a season to make a hearty soup.

Chickpeas, lentils, eggs, celery, tender cubes of beef make up this flavorful soup. Finish it up with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and serve it with mellifluous dates for a most authentic Moroccan meal.

To all who are celebrating, happy fasting! To all who are not, happy feasting!

Bessaha!
