Algerian Recipes

Algerian cuisine is a rich tapestry of Berber, Ottoman, Andalusian, and French colonial influences spread across the largest country in Africa. Couscous reigns supreme in countless regional variations, while chorba (spiced soup) is the traditional Ramadan starter. Key ingredients include lamb, chickpeas, tomatoes, and the fiery dersa sauce of garlic, tomato, and chili. French influence is evident in daily baguettes, croissants, and the vibrant café culture found in cities like Algiers and Oran.
