This my favorite Moroccan dish, you make it very easy and simple. I will try to make it by myself. Thank you so much for all your recipes. You are really the ambassador of Moroccan food in the USA.

Hello, I have been sitting her watching your videos. I love Moroccan food and have some friends who make these sorts of dishes and have always wanted to make them myself. Now I can!! I have seen this dish without the chicken like you said. But it seemed like more sugar? Should it be more sweet without the chicken. Also the butter is it salted or unsalted? Thank you!

[judyki]

lovely!

thanks so much... not exactly the same I've tasted but great as all the videos ive seen of you :)

[cookingwithalia]

ha ha ha! choukran! cheers!

[EvelynGB]

Thank you for the lovely video! I will add this to my recipes! :D This is something you would eat for dinner? OR something for ramadan? Would you serve it with something else?

[cookingwithalia]

We usually eat this for dinner, especially without the chicken, kind of light pasta. And in Morocco, this dish is also prepared to celebrate the birth of a baby. hope you like it!

[EvelynGB]

I might make this tonight, I don't know if we have anymore vermicelli. I wonder if it would work with lambs tongue pasta? if I didn;t make it with chicken would I make it with a tagine?

I am hungry...LOL

[cookingwithalia]

wow, that sounds a melting pot of Moroccan food :-) I hear you, this is how I feel when I am hungry, I would eat everything!!!

[anlisa2622]

Hi,

One more thing, the word "Medfouna" in English translation is "buried" and it's not a good idea using this word to describe food. I suggest that you should go for an Arabic course to improve using Arabic words. You have a very nice English accent.

[cookingwithalia]

Also, I did not make up the name of this dish, it's a popular Moroccan/North African dish. it's called this way because meat or chicken are buried under a heap of sharia (vermicelli) or couscous. I do speak arabic both Moroccan and classical fluently.

cheers

Hi,

The vermicelli/couscous seffa is a dessert/sweeties so I don't know where you get the seffa recipe from. Normally, we don't put meat in seffa as it is a Moroccan dessert. As a Moroccan, I don't know which part of Morocco you're from. I'm very surprised that you added meat to seffa, as seffa is a traditional Moroccan dessert. My advice is to rinse the vermicelli with boiled water and steam it for 15 minutes and rinse it with boiled water again and it is ready steamed for use. Well done!

[cookingwithalia]

Hi,

yes you are right. Seffa is a Moroccan dessert. But there are other recipes of sharia medfouna or couscous medfoun that are called Seffa Medfouna in some region of Morocco. You can google it and you will find a lot of Moroccan/Alegrian recipes about Seffa Medfouna with meat or chicken.

[greenbeast1345]

im moroccan cool

[Fullperson]

ahh ahhh your food is making me soo huunnrrryyy... I might just go ahead and try this tmw. I have the really long kind of vermicelli, so I'll have to slice it up.. I hope that substitutes well

[tahoe350]

That looks really good right about now!

[kirbybl]

Thanks for another interesting recipe. Is there a shortcut for preparing the vermicelli? It takes a lot of time to steam it. Thanks.

[cookingwithalia]

Hi Becky,

Yeah, this dish is easy but takes some time as you need to steam the vermicelli for 3-4 times (but it's just waiting time). you can put the vermicelli for 10 mn in boiling water for a shortcut, and then steam it 1-2 times.

cheers

[kirbybl]

Thanks for the reply.
