Moroccan Smen / Smen marocain سمن مغربي

[msgogogoebel]

was your butter clarified (ghee) or just regular butter?

[mohamedbenhaddou]

thank u for this amazing video ,it help me to make semen 

[nounoux23]

merci beaucoup pour cette recette c'est fabuleux, je voulais savoir svp : aprés la préparation de smen on peut utiliser de suite ou bien ou doit attendre quelque jour histoire de le laisser prendre gout !! merci

[sousoukitchen]

@nounoux23 Il ne faut pas l'utiliser tout de suite, il faut le laisser au moins un mois, quand smen est ancien, il donne plus de saveur.

[noemichiva]

salut,gr. c ce qui signifie une cuillère à soupe? merci

[noemichiva]

salut, comme vous pouvez commencer à manger? vous pouvez avec le thym? merci

[SKTPSY]

How do you use smen i.e. do you use as oil for cooking or put dollops straight into the meat dishes while cooking.

[SKTPSY]

I guess it is unsalted butter since salt has been added.

[kemptonjones]

Must the smen be refrigerated? how is it to be stored?

[sousoukitchen]

@kemptonjones No. Just leave it in a kitchen closet.

[fa5234]

Utilise-t-on du beurre clarifié ou du simple beurre (salé ou non salé) pour la recette ? La vidéo ne le précise pas ! D'avance merci et merci beaucoup pour toutes vos superbes vidéos.

[sousoukitchen]

@fa5234 Tu peux utiliser du beurre salé.

[fa5234]

@sousoukitchen

Je me permet de reformuler ma question : Faut-il clarifier le beurre (signifie cuire le beurre à feu doux et enlever la caséine et le petit lait) avant la préparation ou non? D'avance merci pour votre précieuse aide!

NB: J' ai essayé votre recette de poulet à la marocaine c’était bon mais n'avait hélas pas de smen :((

[ColombophileMarocain]

On utilise le thym pas l'origan madame

[sousoukitchen]

@ColombophileMarocain Zaatar c'est l'origan sec.

[ColombophileMarocain]

@sousoukitchen

L'origan c'est مرددوش (Origanum marjorana)

Le thym c'est الزعتر (Thymus vulgaris)

Le serpolet c'est الزعيترة (Thymus serpyllum)

[sousoukitchen]

@ckawtari I think your jar was not sterilized, throw it away and try it another time.

[prinsesrebellia]

can somebody tell me the name of the song?thanxx

[sousoukitchen]

@prinsesrebellia It's Ragheb Alama "Tab lih".

[nkiy08]

Salam sousou..c'est vraiment magnifique...PROUD OF YOU... MOROCCAN CUISINE IS THE BEST...

[Mychem118]

@sousoukitchen thanks for your response i appreciate.

another question: should i wash the butter ? (somebody told that )

[medlyra]

Sousou. what kind of butter is best to use? if you have a specific brand that is sold in Us market, salted or unsalted? thank you.

[blackappleberri]

Is the butter used salted or non salted butter

[sousoukitchen]

@blackappleberri The butter is salted.

[osadia13]

Il faut le conserver au frigo?

Merci

[sousoukitchen]

@osadia13 non juste dans une température ambiante.

[SKTPSY]

Looks some different kind of butter to me.

[SKTPSY]

[TheOmalbanat]

[SafiaFarris]

Oh my goooooood ! ca fait longtemps que jcherche ca ... Meeeerciiiiii

[le3verita]

Mercis pour la recette ...

[kilanadora]

I had a little problems because I used the almost hot origano water, as you can imagine. Maybe you can add a note to your vid. Thank you very much for the recipe, although.

[sousoukitchen]

didn't you know that if you add hot water, the smen will melt ?

[armellini69]

merci beaucoup ;))))

[armellini69]

bonjour

pourait-on me dire de qui est la musique.

Merci pour votre aide :))

[sousoukitchen]

Ragheb Alama, the song is " Tab leh "

[ScopedOUT2]

What kind of butter are you using?

[dzlove]

Smen is a North African specialty (Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco) thanks for the recipe.

[sousoukitchen]

If you followed the steps 100 %, so don't worry, after a few weeks, you will see, it will be exactly like the normal smen.

[sousoukitchen]

I wonder from what "the black freckles" came from, did you drain the thyme water before you added it to the butter?

I wish I can help you. Did you follow the same steps as me ?

[morrocangirl82]

salam sister. I did drain the thyme and just used the water. I did see a few bits in the end product in the jar. Would that effect the end product? Followed ur steps 100%

[morrocangirl82]

salam sister, i tried ur smen recipe bt i think there is a problem with it has black freckles on it....maybe its gone off? nt sure please help..i wanted it to be ready for ramadhan.

[morrocangirl82]

Salam sister. Ive been looking for a good smen recipe for a long time. This is by far the best and the easiest one. Chokran

[douceclaude]

j'adore tes idées, je ne connaissais pas du tout cette recette, donc je viens d'apprendre quelque chose de nouveau sur la cuisine arabe...seulement, je n'arrive pas à essayer toutes tes recettes pour l'instant ; en tout cas, je te félicite, tu es très douée ! Bravo !

[sazara123]

Salam Sister,

Thank you for the recipe but I have a question?

Do you put it in the refrigerator to ferment or left out on the countertop? When can you use it?

Can you make a dish using the smen?

Thank you

[sousoukitchen]

You leave the jar in a dark place like a cabinet one month. After that, once you open the jar, you can leave it in the refrigerator, it last 1 year.

As about the recipes I use smen with, you can check out my blog, I have a list there.

[forbetterme]

sousou, ALLAH yahfdak ..raki fennah comme toujour..;)

[alkhayba]

yes you can, sa3datii

thank you again

[alkhayba]

I was gonna ask you about smen's recipe!

thank you for sharing :)

[sousoukitchen]

You see azouina, I can read your mind.

[alyaisa]

great ya this is the real Moroccan Smen well done

[ouafa2007]

Thank you sister. I remember that my mother puts only a little piece of smen (from morocco) in a pound butter, some salt, mix it and puts that mixtur in a jar. Will it works too ?

[sousoukitchen]

I don't think so, this recipe of smen is from my mother. It should have the flavor of oregano.

[sousoukitchen]

After 4 weeks, you can start to use it.

[abiyat3307]

Thanks for another great recipe. How long does this need to ferment before it can be used?
