What is SMEN?
SMEN is a traditional mature Moroccan cooking oil, whose recipe was handed over from generation to generation. The cooking process is very specific and is stored for a long time in clay containers, often underground to mature. The longer it matures, the tastier and more valuable it becomes. It turns into butter, which is then used to produce small items. Various herbs and spices are moved into the butter, which differ from the recipe for the recipe for the recipe. The alternative method involves packing herbs in curd and cooking is butter. In some cases, salt is added before cooking and is sometimes added after the cooking phase.
Butter is then brought to a boil through heat and is divided into a gold oily section and milk parts. It is left to cook for 15 to 30 minutes and then remove from the heat. The oil part is then removed and a cloth to remove the sediment. This is located in a clay pot and sealed. The pot is then stored, traditionally buried in the ground, for several months to years to age.
The longer the details are aging, the more it happens. It has a characteristic cheesy odor that becomes stronger over time. Traditionally, the daughter was traditionally buried in the ground and remained buried until it was used to cook food on her wedding day. The amount and age of family crumbs was also a sign of their wealth.
SMEN is used to cook and flavor many traditional Moroccan dishes such as couscous and tagin. Couscous is a small Semolina pellet and is one of the basic starchs of Morocco. Tagine is a traditional stew bowl cooked in a clay pot with a narrow peak, which is most often served with couscous. Morocco is known for its tasty and beautifully spicy and tasty food and a sake are part of what it adds to taste.
