I tried this recipe this weekend. Very yummy and very easy! It's
from _Fat Free, Flavor Full_.
Harira
"Harira is the traditional lemony soup used to break the Moslem
fasr of Ramadan." quote from the book
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
6 cups veggie boullion
1 t. tumeric
1 t. ground coriander
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. cayenne
1 potato, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 can (28-oz.) tomatoes, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup curly vermicelli or Chinese noodles, crumbled
1 can chickpeas, undrained, or 2 c. cooked chickpeas
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. Italian parsley, chopped
2 T. mint leaves, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring onion, celery, red pepper, and 1/2 c. of the boullion to a boil
in a large pot. Simmer about 10 minutes to soften the veggies. Add
the remaining boullion, spices, potato, carrots, and tomatoes; simmer
20 minutes. Stir in zucchini, noodles, chickpeas, and lemon juice,
and cook 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley, mint and pepper before
serving. 6-8 servings.
NOTE: When I made this, I left out the noodles. I've never had
"real" harira before so I can't vouch for the authenticity.
The next time I make this, I might leave out the tumeric. It
turned the chickpeas and the potatoes an unnatural shade of yellow,
IMHO.
This tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator overnight.
