Pea soup "Bissara"

4 servings

180 minutes

Bissara pea soup is a traditional Moroccan dish that combines simplicity in preparation with rich flavor. Its roots go back centuries, and in Morocco, it is often served as comforting home food. The thick, creamy texture is achieved through well-cooked peas seasoned with aromatic spices and butter for softness and richness. A light hint of ginger and allspice adds zest, while adjika gives a pleasant spiciness. This soup is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to traditional Moroccan flatbreads. It is served hot, often garnished with extra olive oil and fresh herbs for an aromatic and warming treat.
