HARIRA is a classic Moroccan comfort soup made with tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, fresh herbs, warm spices, and meat, making it a filling and satisfying dish. The name HARIRA derived from the Arabic word for silk, makes reference to the texture of the soup after it’s been thickened with a mixture of flour and water that we called “TADOUIRA”. It’s a popular offering in Moroccan homes and restaurants. It ranks high on lists of must-try Moroccan foods. It’s particularly popular for breaking the fast during Ramadan. It can be served as an appetizer or main. It can be served with crusty bread, Moroccan MSEMEN, hard boiled eggs, dates, figs, and a honey orange water flavored pastry called “Chebakia”. HARIRA is wonderfully fragrant with zesty seasoning. HARIRA is typically made with lamb or beef, but some variations of this recipe skip the meat to be vegetarian and vegan.
