hello najia, we've always made loubia beans like a dal at home in india, so tomorrow i'm going to try it your (the original?) way! i have two questions though:

i got harissa paste from the store instead of powder. how can i substitute that in? should i add it earlier on when blooming the spices or later on with the tomato?

if one were not vegan so open to adding meat, what stocks would you recommend? what meat stocks are typically used in moroccan loubia? what do stocks do to the flavour apart from making it thicker and richer? (i've never used stocks in cooking and I'm very interested in trying it with dal for example!)

"Loubia" is just sort of the word for "beans" (or certain kinds of beans) so I'm sure it's used by people from different countries in different ways--in Morocco it's used to refer specifically to the stew made by cooking white beans with tomato, onion, olive oil, spices &c. The same cooking method used on a different base product gives you "l'des" (similarly just the word for "lentils," but we mostly use it to refer to lentils cooked in this particular way). Some people throw everything into the pot at the same time, while others fry off the onion, garlic, and tomato first and then add the beans and water (which I go into more in my l'des recipe).

I mentioned harissa powder as a potential alternative to red chili powder, which some people include in loubia & some people don't. Harissa paste isn't a typical inclusion in these stews--we use it as a condiment with a finished meal (couscous, kebabs, &c.). If you're going to use chili powder, keep in mind that here this refers to just dried, powdered red chili peppers, not "chili powder" the spice blend used to flavor "chili" the dish. You could also use a slit fresh red or green chili, cayenne powder, a dried red chili broken into several pieces, or just omit it.

Both loubia and l'des are very frequently vegetarian. Some people add cured dried meat (al qadid), ground beef (kefta), or cubed beef (al Hem). If you're adding beef, it should be fried at the beginning before adding beans and water.

These bean / pulse stews typically use water. The 'stock' you would get if you included meat would just result from the meat simmering in the water along with the other ingredients (which is what my suggestion for vegetable stock or faux beef stock concentrate is seeking to mimic).

Here's a video recipe for loubia including meat. Some words:

maqadir: ingredients

al-Hem: meat / beef

bSla: onion (she says "jouj bSla," "two onions". later she says "bSla Hmra," red onion, and "bSla bayda," white onion)

matesha: tomato (later she specifies that she has pureed four tomatoes)

kaas dyal zit: tea glass of [olive] oil

chwiya dyal mlHa: a little salt

zafran khirqum: fake saffron used for colouring purposes

touma: garlic

qzbara wa madnous, mqtte': minced cilantro/coriander and parsley

flflat Harin: spicy peppers

skinjbir: ginger (jouj ma'lqa sghar--two small spoonfulls)

bzar: black pepper (two spoons)

khirqum / khirqum bldi: turmeric (two spoons)

kilo dyal loubia: 1 kilogram of white beans

Moroccan-style meatballs

Moroccan-style meatballs with rice, braised peas, and cauliflower on Tuesday 7 November 2023

It was my parents' wedding anniversary, so we had a meat dinner to celebrate. My aunt and uncle came, too, and we had a lovely evening.

Traditionally, there would be no breadcrumbs or egg in a Moroccan-style kefta. I needed to make the meat that I had go further, so I added some. If you need to serve fewer people or have more meat available, you can omit the breadcrumbs and egg.

The recipe is a cross between one in Paula Wolfert's The Food of Morocco and that on the Taste of Maroc website.

For the meatballs - serves 5

450 grams minced lamb

1 crust bread, toasted, cooled, and ground into crumbs

1 egg

1 small onion, grated

3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (no tough stems)

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon turmric

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Grinding black pepper

Pinch ginger

Grating nutmeg

For the sauce

1 medium onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

400 grams chopped tomatoes, passata, or grated fresh tomatoes

200 millilitres stock (chicken or vegetable)

2 tablespoons tomato purée

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

3/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper

For the meatballs, mix together all of the ingredients, but don't overwork it or you will have tough meatballs. Use wetted hands to shape them into between 24 and 30 tiny meatballs. Put them on a plate, cover them, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

To make the sauce, heat the onion, oil, and the garlic in a casserole with about 80 millilitres of water. Cook for about 10 minutes on a low-medium heat until the water has evaporated.

Stir through the tomato purée followed by the spices, tomatoes, the stock, the sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer.

Cook for at least ten minutes so that the sauce thickens and becomes more rich. Stir through the herbs.

Drop the meatballs into the sauce and carefully cover each with a spoonful of sauce.

Put the lid on the pan and let the meatballs simmer for about 30 minutes, until they are cooked through. Remove the lid and cook uncovered for five or ten minutes to get the sauce saucy. Serve immediately. We had ours with rice, plain cauliflower, and braised peas.

i also took great joy in how moroccan an experience it was. watching a film in darija with french subtitles that were half cut off by the shitty projection of the cinema where everyone was on their phone the entire time, about daily life in morocco with people visiting hammams and cooking kefta blbayd and spinning thread in the street and drinking atay bn3na3, and spending the entire film trying to figure out where it was shot only to be like OH IT'S SALE approximately two seconds before a shot revealing the Iconic Sale Location, and having to hike to find a taxi that would take us home in the middle of the night. I love this place so much.

i'm so exhausted i am gonna barely make it through the classes i have to teach today but i gotta say, the experience of a midnight showing of a beautiful queer movie which makes you and your friends cry your eyes out is so fucking worth the sleep deprivation
