About Bazin
Libyan Food presents bazeen as an Amazigh dish and a staple of western Libya, often served for Friday lunch. Its lamb version places a smooth barley-and-wheat dough dome beside tomato sauce, potatoes and boiled eggs.
Onion, garlic, fenugreek, turmeric and chilli flavour the lamb sauce. Black pepper adds warmth, while fresh chillies and lemon accompany the dish at serving.
The worked dough is firm and smooth, with potatoes that keep their shape in the surrounding sauce. Lamb and eggs complete the shared platter, with pumpkin offered as an optional addition.
