Notes

Wafa
A small can of tomato paste is enough. Add the stew and less tomato, and include all the dried vegetables from the start. It's a recipe so simple that many try to complicate it :) Enjoy your meal, everyone! -
Hind
My suggestion: Add one spoonful of semolina and three large spoonfuls of flour. Mix it with a little water and then pour it into the harira mixture. -
Nassera
Variation My suggestion: Mix split peas, lentils, broad beans, chickpeas, coriander, onions, bite-sized meat, spice mix, salt, pepper, and a red chili. Set aside. Prepare the flour, water, yeast, and let it rest. Cook for 10 minutes. -
Fatima
Variant My suggestion: I added 300 g of diced lamb and 1 teaspoon of baker's yeast. At the time of serving, add a very fresh egg yolk to the bowl. -

The true tomato Meat or no meat, that's a choice. Season with lamb (such as shoulder), it's better. But forget about canned tomatoes and grate fresh tomatoes by hand. And to correct what has been said, it's often enjoyed with a hard-boiled egg on the side, which is dipped in cumin and eaten while savoring the soup. Lemon on the side, everyone can add if they wish.
