About the Recipe
A recipe of love, the kind that doesn’t always need words. The first time you watched Fatiha Tahzima, aka Mima, in the kitchen, you probably noticed how natural it is for her to move between the spices, the herbs, and the bubbling pots, as if she carried the recipes in her hands rather than on paper.

2 Tbsp Tahzima Blend
Olive oil for drizzling
Lemon slices for garnish
