Bissara (Fava Bean Dip/Soup)
Let me share a family secret with you. A thick, hearty, and incredibly comforting purée of dried fava beans or split peas, generously drizzled with olive oil and cumin. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
