About douida
Choumicha records this old-style chicken douida among the traditional recipes shared with her by Jamila Jamal of Casablanca. Fine vermicelli, chicken halves and onion form its substantial presentation.
Parsley and smen contribute the sauce’s aromatic, buttery character. Saffron adds another aromatic note, with butter, salt and pepper completing this richly flavoured rendition.
The vermicelli forms a bed beneath the chicken, with onion on top. The dish is served very hot, combining tender noodles with chicken and its richly flavoured onion sauce.
