I grew up eating this with my mum’s home-made Moroccan bread, kefta (meat patties) and sometimes a few squeezes of tomato ketchup. It’s my favourite salad-dip hybrid in the entire world and one of the most iconic Moroccan dishes. Every region and family has its own way of cooking it: I like mine creamy, spicy and smoky, hence the inclusion of smoked paprika with the more traditional seasonings. Serve it with grilled meat or fish, or as a spread in a sandwich.
