Rfissa


Rfissa is a dish that is very popular in Morocco and is served during various traditional celebrations.
It is traditionally served with chicken and lentils and fenugreek seeds, msemmen, meloui or day-old bread, and the blend of ras el hanout.
It's traditional to serve rfissa to a woman who has just given birth, as fenugreek is supposed to be beneficial for women that are recovering from child birth.
Rfissa is derived from tharid, a traditional Arab dish said to have been the Prophet Muhammad's favorite dish.
This dish did not appear in Moroccan cookbooks until the 1990s.
