Preparation

Our Sahrawi fish dish is prepared according to the ancestral traditions of Sahrawi cuisine, adapted to modern cooking. The fish is first marinated in a blend of spices before being delicately cooked to preserve its texture. The oriental sauce is simmered separately with a harmonious blend of spices, fresh herbs, and vegetables. The mixture is then brought together and simmered over low heat to allow the fish to absorb the complex flavors of the sauce while retaining its delicacy. This traditional preparation method reveals the rich aromas of the desert combined with the influences of oriental cuisine.
