Recipe Description

Moroccan Bessara is a delectably creamy and aromatic soup made from dried fava beans or split peas, herbs, and spices. It is a staple in Moroccan cuisine, often enjoyed for breakfast during the colder months but can be served at any mealtime for a comforting and nutritious dish. This vegan version captures the essence of traditional flavors, blending garlic, cumin, olive oil, and a hint of paprika for warmth. The preparation involves soaking the legumes overnight, ensuring they cook to a perfect, velvety consistency. Bessara is not only a testament to the simplicity and richness of Moroccan culinary traditions but also highlights the importance of legumes in vegetarian and vegan diets, providing a substantial source of protein and fiber.
