Recipe: Delicious Moroccan Lentil & Chickpea Soup(Harrira) Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Moroccan Lentil & Chickpea Soup(Harrira). A Moroccan Lentil mashes sweet Potato and brussel sprout plant based meal delivery service came up in my newsfeed and it called to me!! That's how I stumbled on this recipe, for the lentil piece, to make my own. We both enjoyed it and it will become a staple.

Crusty bread such as Moroccan khobz is traditionally used to scoop up the lentils and sauce, but go ahead and eat with a spoon if you prefer.

Some of the olive oil can be replaced with vegetable oil; this is the habit of some Moroccan cooks as a matter of frugality or because their olive oil is extra virgin and a little goes a long way in terms of flavor.

Moroccan inspired food is something that I could eat almost everyday.
