    Made these this morning and my husband and I loved them. We got back from visiting Morocco a few days ago, and have tried to bring some influences home with us. An extended breakfast with these delicious treats and some mint tea in a teapot we picked up from the Souks was one. Thank you!

      Msemen is my absolute favourite Moroccan food along with siffa. I always have it when I visit my family in morocco and I'm lucky as my other grandmother lives close to me so we always have it when breaking our fast in Ramadan or eid! I like to have them with chocolate spread 😹

    100% top!!! Thank you so much for doing this video. I live in Italy and we go to local Moroccan bakery for bread, on a Saturday he does these pancakes which we all love. Unfortunately, due to Corona we can't get to him, so I decided to see if I could find a tutorial. Yours was the best for me, simple steps, easy to follow and a lovely woman showing how to accomplish these 'pancakes ' just finished making them, SUPER SUPER SUPER DELIZIOSO!!!!! GRAZIE DI CUORE

    I've made msemmen myself watching this video. They are very similar to certain type of what we call "byrek" in my native country Albania. I grew up eating this kind of msemmen but the dough was worked with melted butter and I mean butter from grass fed cows milk, unpasteurized and the taste was heavenly. The difference is that we put a dish between 2 msemmens which is basically, a mix of ricotta cheese, crumbled feta cheese, a bit of yogurt, a bit of chopped parsley and an egg. You mix them all well and as you make one msemmen you put a tbs of the mixture on top of it, spread it well over and then you put another msemmen on top of the first msemmen with the mixture and you stick the sides altogether using you fingers. You can bake them (they get crunchy) or put them on the pan. The real taste of the old world. Cheers to Alia and her sweet grandma.

I totally recommend your channel to all my friends because all your videos are made with love and dedication. I believe, that the quality of each dish depends on the type of energy one puts into it. And your passion for cooking is radiant! Your husband is very lucky to have you :) TY for sharing your recipes! So far I loved every one I tried :)

    • @two8250
      @two8250 4 года назад +1

      Use different flour whole meal flour so you wouldn’t get the same taste with it. Moroccan use white flour so there’s already sugar in the dow itself so there to totally different as it a sweeter and better taste.

      I remember first time I had a paratha, I was far away from home and therefore, from my mom's kitchen... I thought : "Oh God, those are JUST like smemen!!" The Pakistani by my shop must have thought I was weird for ordering a crazy amount of paratha every week without any curry :D

  • @cookingwithalia
    @cookingwithalia  11 лет назад +2

    yes, you can mix oil with butter - but this is how my grandmother makes it, in a regular day. she does not always use butter. There is no "trustworthy" with culinary art. Every person makes dishes their own way and bring their own touch to them - there is not just one single way of making it. Cooking is all about reflecting your tastes and what you like. :-)

    salam Alia , this is similar to Algerian Mellwi but we make it round shape . the Msemmen in algeria is Mellwi or (what u did) and they add to inside it The fat of the sheep which it will melt during the cooking.
    . another tip the mellwi or mesmen you prepared . if you shred it and put on it sugar or honey become erfiss.
    thanks a lot . I learned a lot from you .
