Harira Bidaoua (White Harira)
Welcome to my table! A light, comforting soup made without tomatoes or lentils. It features a simple broth thickened with flour or smen and flavored with anise. 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.
