The patties with chicken and lentils' sauce

The rfissa (dialect) is an ancestral dish typically Moroccan whose generosity and flavor mark every person who taste it.
Served on great occasions and family gatherings except at weddings with one exception, rfissa is so nourishing and satisfying that it is a main dish that can not be presented with several dishes at once.
Based on #msemmen# (Moroccan crêpes) with flour, wheat or semolina, this gourmet specialty is really succulent thanks to the richness of its sauce made with an onion broth mixed with Lentils, with multiple spices such as #Ras El Hanout# , ginger and the indispensable fenugreek (halba), which gives it a truly unique taste and, above all, whet the appetite.
As meat, a whole chicken cooked in a lentil sauce is placed at the end in the hollows of the wafer sheets that have been roughly cut into small pieces (laminated squares) before and placed on a plate.
Finally, the whole thing is watered with the creamy onion sauce, spices and lentils that soaks the patties whose texture in the mouth may seem somewhat dry otherwise.
Traditionally, patties made with lentil sauce are often prepared to celebrate a birth in order to promote the rise of breast milk and give back to the mother, thus benefiting from an undisputed energy boost.

Salted with the touch of rancid butter, which raises the dish more spicy and fragrant, the dish of rfissa is a true delight of Morocco that is not found elsewhere and therefore a dish to be discovered!
