     Like most hariras, this Berber version is finished off with a thickening agent to develop the proper velvety texture.

     Every family makes its own version of harira. [...] The only must-have is yeast. This is traditional for harira, giving it some oomph [...]. I've since seen harira recipes with lamb, with chicken, with eggs.
