Iconic Dishes of Algeria
Algerian Couscous, a true symbol of national gastronomy, is prepared with fine, steamed semolina accompanied by a fragrant vegetable and meat broth, typically lamb or chicken. The Algerian version stands out with the use of chickpeas and zucchini in the broth.
Tajine Zitoun, a stew of chicken or lamb simmered with green olives, spices, and preserved lemon, is a must-have dish for special occasions. It is served with traditional bread like kesra, a typical durum wheat flatbread.
Chakhchoukha, a traditional Berber dish, is made from pieces of cut dough mixed with a spicy meat and chickpea sauce. Originating from the Aurès region, this specialty is often enjoyed during family meals and celebrations.
Mhajeb, a crepe stuffed with tomatoes, onions, and chilies, is a popular specialty often eaten as a snack or alongside heartier dishes.
Rechta, a fresh homemade pasta, is served with a cinnamon-scented white sauce and chicken, offering a light and comforting dish. Widely consumed during celebrations and family events, it is often enhanced with chickpeas and a slow-simmered broth.
Merguez, a famous spicy sausage made from lamb or beef, is grilled and served with bread or couscous. Its intense, bold flavor makes it a favorite for outdoor meals and family barbecues.
Lham Lahlou, a sweet-and-savory dish made with meat, prunes, almonds, and honey, is primarily prepared during celebrations and Ramadan. This dish symbolizes the tradition of sweet-savory combinations typical of Algerian cuisine.
