Moroccan Bissara is a hearty and comforting soup made from dried split peas, garlic, olive oil, and warm spices. A popular staple in Morocco, Bissara is especially enjoyed during the cooler months and is commonly served for breakfast or as a light meal with fresh bread. 

This simple yet flavorful dish is prepared by slowly cooking split peas until tender, then blending them into a smooth, creamy soup. Garlic, cumin, paprika, and olive oil add depth and aroma, creating a rich and satisfying bowl that is both nutritious and affordable. 

Traditionally served with Moroccan Khobz bread and topped with a drizzle of olive oil, Bissara is a beloved comfort food that showcases the simplicity and warmth of Moroccan home cooking.

  1.  Place the split peas, garlic, and water in a large pot.
