Algerian Stew With White Beans – Barboucha
The first time I had this stew was in a remote town in Morocco. The smell of the spices, bursting through the steam caught my attention, then, the flavours melted in my mouth. Serve with couscous or bread.
Algerian Helouwa Ta’aba (Lemon or Sesame Cookies)
Helouwa Ta’aba are very traditional, lovely simple cookies from Algeria. They should be quite hard, but if you prefer them a little softer then take them out of the oven at 20 minutes. There are 2 versions of this recipe, one flavoured with lemon & the other is plain but topped with sesame seeds. Both versions are below. This particluar recipe is our family recipe & is DH’s all time favourite helouwa as it is not too sweet (so he can eat more lol!)
Tamina – Algerian Toasted Semolina & Honey Sweet
Tamina is a very old Algerian recipe. Traditionally it is served to celebrate the birth of a baby, however many people eat it whenever they get the craving for something seriously sweet! It is most commonly served in small plates & people each have a small spoon with which to eat it, you can of course, serve individual portions. Algerian children go crazy for this so don’t forget a plate for them!
Algerian Green Beans With Almonds
Garlic and spices. If you wanted to use canned beans, heat them up and pour sauce on them so it will not take long to make, or frozen green beans will get you closer to fresh tasting.
