Tajine el Khoukh

What we know so far

Tajine el khoukh is an Algiers Ramadan dish with a joke in its name: khoukh means peaches, and the "peaches" are golden fried croquettes of mashed potato and minced meat, shaped like small fruit, that sit in a white sauce of lamb or chicken, chickpeas, onion, smen and cinnamon. The croquettes are dipped in egg white and flour, fried, and slipped into the sauce at the very end so they keep their crust. It is a dish of the capital's old bourgeois cooking, served on feast tables and in the first days of Ramadan, and it takes an afternoon.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
