This dish is traditionally cooked in Algeria for eating during Ramadan and on special ocassions. It is hardly ever eaten as a main course, but as a small dish after the main. This recipe freezes well. In my family, it’s only my husband that eats it so I freeze individual portions for him. I tend to play around with the recipe and change the fruit around and add a little extra liquid. This is just one of hundreds of variations of this recipe, I will post a few alternatives later.
‘Zrodiya Mcharmla’ also known as ‘Carottes au vinaigre’ is a very famous carrot dish in Algeria. This is actually delicious & isn’t hard to make…beautiful with roast chicken! For a change to the carrots, you can also use courgette / zucchini or potato in its place.
From the The Great Book of Couscous by Copeland Marks. Algerian comfort food. Use as a side dish or a main dish with a nice salad.
This recipe was initially posted in response to a round the world game. Not only did it sound good but once I got around to trying it myself, it WAS good! I’m not usually a cucumber person but I really like this recipe.
