Chorba (Slideshow version)

Chorba : Photo of step #26

Stage 13/13 :

Serve piping hot with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped fresh coriander.

Remarks

As with any "regional" recipe, please remember that this is only ONE chorba recipe and not THE chorba recipe.

The proportions are for guidance, so do vary them to your own taste.

The diced chicken can be either raw or cooked (as in the photos) and this is a good way to use up leftovers.

If you can't find a ready-made mix of couscous spices, you can make your own from: cumin, coriander (ground), cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom and turmeric. Paprika, cloves and caraway are also sometimes used.

And to drink?

An Algerian red wine, one from the Medea region, for example, or any other full-bodied red.
