It certainly can make an excellent hobby for those who enjoy it.

Harira Soup by Ghalia Kattan

Here’s the 12th installment of our recipe of the day series! This recipe was brought to you by Ghalia Kattan, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu. After graduating last December, she decided to visit Marrakech because Moroccan cuisine is full of intriguing flavor combinations and she wanted to explore their food culture more deeply. Ghalia says: ”Let’s just say they’re big on spices and it truly awakens your taste buds. I got to try different tagines, bastillas and even escargot. During Ramadan, Harira is particularly popular there because it’s usually served amongst the food they have to break their fast. Harira is a hearty Moroccan soup made of tomato, lentils, and chickpeas. It’s incredibly flavorful and fragrant. I hope you enjoy this recipe and try it out at home! Ramadan Kareem 🌙”. @scrumptious_gk @ghaliakattan If you’re a cook or love to cook, send us your recipes to be featured in our daily food series👩‍🍳
