  • I am very happy to show you my take on what I'm told is Morocco's most popular soup - and once you taste it you'll understand why, since the combination of pasta, lentils, and chickpeas is so hearty, so flavorful, and so satisfying, this is without a doubt one of the best soups you'll ever eat. Enjoy!

    Chef, I was born & raised in Morocco, harira is a national culinary monument specially in Ramadan. Words cannot describe how happy Iam to see you pull out a perfectly beautiful Harira soup. I’m a subscriber since 2011 and back then I could barely cook spaghetti Al dente and maybe a shakshuka. I graduated culinary school in Las Vegas in 2014 and took more classes in 2018. I have sent this video to all family members in 🇲🇦 Morocco, Germany and France. God bless you and your great educational fun content. Choukran

      I’m from Israel, where we have many many people with roots in Morocco who brought this magnificent cuisine with them, including this amazing soup.
      I’m glad to see that are countries became closer, and now we can explore the wonderful cultures of both peoples.
      I wish chef John will continue with the North African dishes, especially Mafrum

    I had the pleasure of studying abroad in Morocco, during which time Ramadan occurred. Though non-Muslim, I joined my friends in fasting, and one of the highlights of the evening was harira. We'd usually have the traditional iftar (ftour in local dialect) on campus, then later in the evening, take a second meal at a restaurant or cafe in town. That was the meal that always featured harira, at least for me.

    • @Othmane131
      @Othmane131 Год назад +4

    The fact that the leaves are used here cannot be praised enough! This also applies to many other vegetables. Especially for kohlrabi. This is where most of the taste is in the small leaves. In parsley, it's the stems. They are usually thrown away. If you cut them into very thin rings, you can almost always use them and they have much more taste than the leaves. The bottom line is that this is a great dish.

  • @MNms-ny1gl
    @MNms-ny1gl Год назад +6

    Celery leaves have maximum flavor. If adding celery to soup for flavor then leaves are what you want. I routinely trim off celery leaves (particularly if it appears the celery is bolting), and dehydrate them specifically for soup, so we always have them.

    I actually have all of those ingredients, minus the lamb, in my pantry at the moment. Now I know what I’m making for dinner tonight

    Hi there chef John , make the exact recipe with a bone broth( roasted marror in bones coated with Tomato paste 200c roasted then in a large pot with carrot onion celery pepper corns bay leaf , additional neck or rib bones for collagen , cook 12- 24 hours cool strain remove fat layer after solidified on top ) , beluga lentils , and in the onion step add a classic carrot onion celery combo (thinly cut) , also a hot pepper , .. no flour , at the end , I add Turkish style noodles called erişte, for the final 10 minutes of cooking … ( during the frying of veggies add some cumin , pepper flakes, star anise also )
    This will wow you beyond you wildest dreams
    Dr Sertug from turkey …
