Beef Tongue Tagine (Lsan B'guelb)
If you were sitting in our family salon right now, I would serve you this. A traditional delicacy of beef tongue slow-cooked until meltingly tender in a spicy, garlicky sauce. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
