Sahraani

Sahraani is a traditional dish originating from the Sahrawi people, who are the indigenous inhabitants of the Western Sahara. The dish is a staple in Sahrawi cuisine and is often served during special occasions and celebrations. Sahraani is typically prepared using a variety of ingredients, including meat, vegetables, and spices. The meat used in the dish is often goat or lamb, which are commonly raised by the Sahrawi people. The vegetables used can vary, but common ingredients include onions, garlic, tomatoes, and various leafy greens. The dish is cooked in a large pot, with the meat and vegetables simmered together until tender. Spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika are often added to enhance the flavor. Sahraani is usually served with injera, a sourdough flatbread that is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine but is also popular in Sahrawi culture. The dish is known for its rich, hearty flavor and is a reflection of the resilience and culinary traditions of the Sahrawi people. Despite the political challenges faced by the Sahrawi people, their cuisine, including sahraani, remains an important aspect of their cultural identity.
