Yennayer : Ourkimen, a dish of the Amazigh New Year celebrating the earth’s harvest

During the Amazigh New Year, a moment of gratitude and celebration of the earth's abundance, the dishes prepared for this occasion are primarily based on the year’s harvest. For this reason, the Yennayer table is uniquely enriched with dishes made mostly from seeds or greens, and occasionally with dried meats. Ourkimen is one such preparation.
