hello najia, we've always made loubia beans like a dal at home in india, so tomorrow i'm going to try it your (the original?) way! i have two questions though:

i got harissa paste from the store instead of powder. how can i substitute that in? should i add it earlier on when blooming the spices or later on with the tomato?

if one were not vegan so open to adding meat, what stocks would you recommend? what meat stocks are typically used in moroccan loubia? what do stocks do to the flavour apart from making it thicker and richer? (i've never used stocks in cooking and I'm very interested in trying it with dal for example!)

"Loubia" is just sort of the word for "beans" (or certain kinds of beans) so I'm sure it's used by people from different countries in different ways--in Morocco it's used to refer specifically to the stew made by cooking white beans with tomato, onion, olive oil, spices &c. The same cooking method used on a different base product gives you "l'des" (similarly just the word for "lentils," but we mostly use it to refer to lentils cooked in this particular way). Some people throw everything into the pot at the same time, while others fry off the onion, garlic, and tomato first and then add the beans and water (which I go into more in my l'des recipe).

I mentioned harissa powder as a potential alternative to red chili powder, which some people include in loubia & some people don't. Harissa paste isn't a typical inclusion in these stews--we use it as a condiment with a finished meal (couscous, kebabs, &c.). If you're going to use chili powder, keep in mind that here this refers to just dried, powdered red chili peppers, not "chili powder" the spice blend used to flavor "chili" the dish. You could also use a slit fresh red or green chili, cayenne powder, a dried red chili broken into several pieces, or just omit it.

Both loubia and l'des are very frequently vegetarian. Some people add cured dried meat (al qadid), ground beef (kefta), or cubed beef (al Hem). If you're adding beef, it should be fried at the beginning before adding beans and water.

These bean / pulse stews typically use water. The 'stock' you would get if you included meat would just result from the meat simmering in the water along with the other ingredients (which is what my suggestion for vegetable stock or faux beef stock concentrate is seeking to mimic).

Here's a video recipe for loubia including meat. Some words:

maqadir: ingredients

al-Hem: meat / beef

bSla: onion (she says "jouj bSla," "two onions". later she says "bSla Hmra," red onion, and "bSla bayda," white onion)

matesha: tomato (later she specifies that she has pureed four tomatoes)

kaas dyal zit: tea glass of [olive] oil

chwiya dyal mlHa: a little salt

zafran khirqum: fake saffron used for colouring purposes

touma: garlic

qzbara wa madnous, mqtte': minced cilantro/coriander and parsley

flflat Harin: spicy peppers

skinjbir: ginger (jouj ma'lqa sghar--two small spoonfulls)

bzar: black pepper (two spoons)

khirqum / khirqum bldi: turmeric (two spoons)

kilo dyal loubia: 1 kilogram of white beans

5, 11, 15! For the asks :)

5. what made you start your blog?

my original one (the one i made in 2012) was getting a bit too much for me. i didn't know how to handle interactions w indians on tumblr yet, both the hindutvadis and well meaning mainland communists. didn't know how to handle the attention i was getting either, so i let that go dormant and started this one. just so happens that this blog has gotten like...5x the attention of the old one LOL.

11. what do you consider to be romance?

this word is a non word to me LOL. i think it comes down to the intent behind someone's actions and whether that intent is received well. nothing is inherently romance or romantic to me and i am not comfortable with het ideas of romance.

15. what do you think of when you hear the word 'home'?

my own room, wherever that is. i'll find friends, community and things to do wherever. but i really value having a space of my own and i try not to take that for granted.

Rajma is not one ingredient (unless you throw in the beans alone :P)

i see what you mean however it did say two “things” and rajma (sabzi? gravy? idk we just call it rajma) is one thing in my mind😌

#if i had to choose one ‘thing’ then i guess curd but i don’t like curd rice i’ll eat it but i won’t like it #hurricanewindattack

All power to the soviets! Ok, now that the liberals have ran away: I am interested in how marxist-leninist theory can be applied in the critique of the internet, and what ideas have been brought up by communists on what a collectivized web could be like. We all know the privatized, globalized internet is a tool of capital, social media working as a content factory in which workers work for free and generate advertisement revenue for the enterprises like Google, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and the like. Now, it is also evident that web connection is a useful tool for communicating information, managing economical transaction and sharing knowledge. But under capitalism, any potential communal good that could come from the web is hampered by design; access to the internet is expensive and thus only easy for those that benefit from the spoils of imperialism (living in the imperial core); web hosting is privatized, social media is built as a factory of self-propaganda, the internet works esentially as a highway for globalized commerce and bourgeois exploitation in digital format. This is why I wonder how this could be dismantled in a communist regime (obviously it must start with state control and popular ownership of the physical means of digital production, but beyond that) and what shape a communist web would take, or if such a thing is possible at all. So if anyone knows any essays or books on the subject, please let me know, and thank you for your time.

Excited for race of the champions? I hope he beats séb this time!

Merry Christmas!

the thing that got me most excited is when seb was talking about how now he knows how to drive on ice properly…i’m sure the drivers from nordic counties will still be a challenge but he did some pretty special driving last time, we could be in for a treat!
