Doubara
Spicy Algerian chickpea and fava-bean stew with tomato, harissa, cumin and lemon.
About Doubara
Doubara, also called Dobara, is a spicy meat-free bean dish associated with Biskra in southeastern Algeria. This profile follows Keesha's Kitchen's Biskra-style version combining chickpeas and fava beans in a tomato, harissa and cumin base.
Chickpeas and fava beans provide an earthy, nutty foundation. Garlic, chilli and harissa bring heat, cumin and warm spices add depth, and fresh tomato and lemon brighten the rich olive-oil broth.
The finished dish is thick and spoonable, with tender whole beans held in a red-orange tomato sauce. Chopped spring onion and parsley give the surface a fresh green finish.
