In the heart of Fes, Chicken M'hammer graces the Saturday table with its vibrant hue and rich aroma. This dish is the red counterpart to the yellow m'qalli, both traditional staples that complete the weekend dining ritual. The Fassi people cherish these dishes, and their absence is keenly felt, making either a must-have centerpiece.
Chicken M'hammer offers a luscious taste experience, with tender chicken pieces enveloped in a savory sauce, thickened to a rich, clinging consistency. Paprika lends it warmth, while butter or smen deepens the flavor profile. Every bite is a symphony of spices—ginger, cumin, and a whisper of saffron—each contributing to its unforgettable, hearty essence.
