"reshta" recipes : symbol of algerian (north african ) gastronomy

in #food6 years ago

This is a beautiful specialty of Algerian culinary heritage : Homemade rechta pasta, a white chicken sauce and the scent of olive oil and cinnamon that transports you to white Algiers .
The word comes from Persian rista, meaning "thread" and commonly used to refer to pasta.
This dish is often eaten during Eid el-Fitr, but it is especially prepared during religious festivals, such as Mouled or Achoura and family celebrations, such as baptisms, engagements or weddings.

here is some photos of reshta :
