About this recipe

Harira is a traditional Moroccan soup, deeply linked to Ramadan, as it is the dish with which the fast is traditionally broken at dusk.

Its history dates back at least to the 13th century, with mentions in Andalusian manuscripts describing similar spiced broths consumed in Al-Andalus.

Over time, it became a symbol of home and generosity in the Maghreb.

Beyond its religious role, it is also a common dish in family celebrations and in souks, where it is served as a nutritious breakfast.

The recipe varies from family to family, making it a living expression of Moroccan culinary identity and cultural heritage.
