B’Sarra: Moroccan breakfast soup
Truth be told, I’m not the best cook – it’s not that I can’t cook, but I don’t have a ton of time and when I do, my counter space doesn’t really allow for a vast display of ingredients and offers nothing in terms of mixing space, meaning I get frustrated easily and revert to something that is either simple to make or prep for an entire afternoon of prepping, slicing, dicing, cutting and – most annoyingly – cleaning.
Thus, when I was recently flipping through The World’s Best Street Food by Lonely Planet, a birthday gift from a very dear friend of mine, I was delighted to come across this recipe for B’Sarra, a simple, yet mouth-watering Moroccan breakfast soup. How I missed this while actually touring around Morocco escapes me – it’s quite possible that I literally (or il-literally) couldn’t read the signs. Now that I’ve found it though, it’s become my go-to back up for a last minute meal. My husband loves it and it only requires a handful of ingredients. Here’s how to prepare B’Sarra, enjoyed for breakfast by Moroccans but satisfying enough to fill your soup bowl any time of day…
