Traditional Saykouk
Welcome to my table! The ultimate summer refresher. Steamed couscous grains mixed with cold, churned buttermilk (Lben). 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.
