Why Harira deserves more attention

Harira rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The complex with dried fruit and spice complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using argan oil correctly takes real skill.

hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. I encountered it first in a desert camp dinner and that context helped me understand it properly. Casablanca beer is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Harira is the dish to start with.
