I dont know Publix – but unsalted butter should be the same anywhere. so it's fine.
Hi alia. I steam the vermicelli 1 time and then let it cook in water for a couple minutes. It gives the same result as your vermicelli. It wil save you time. Thanks for this tutoriol. Greets from Holland

i dnt know any morrocanns that eats the seffa with dried fruit and chicken. they just eat it with one thing at a time . . . .
Hi, I love your cooking :-)…I wanna know if I can just buy a ready grilled almonds? Im not so good in frying things :D..no time to fry as well haha. Thank you 🙂
can you cook they vermicelli like rice if you don't have a couscous pot/steamer?
OMG, and you said its a really easy recipe……….. fainting
Hello Alia,
I was wondering, can you cook this with cous-cous instead?
please could you talk normal, its so annoying
The recipe looks interesting for a European. It looks rather complicated to make to me, well lots of steps. I know and make such foods myself, but I wonder how the combination of sweet and salty is also. Looks very good, but defin. an acquired taste. In my East. Europe. cuisine we don't mix sweet with salty. I'd like to try to make it one time.
Too nice y3tik sehha
Looks great, thank you. My other half don't eat chicken. Can I make it with red meat, if yes..should I use same spices?
Très bonne recette. Bien expliquée. Merci Alia.
good luck
I really really just know that we morrocans / mgharba have the bestt food!!
so nice want 2 try soon
MashAllah. ..sooo proud of u Alia..love u r cooking ..Bravo!

I'm having a hard time getting the vermicelli to cook all the way. After the 5th steaming I just served it al dente. Any recommendations?
Looks so delicious can wait to make your recipe

Marocan food are the best food on the planet. Thank you for sharing and being so clear and essy to follow the recepies. New subscriber here 💖💖💖
I finally know the name and method of this dish, happy. I came to Morocco for the first time to eat in Rabat, and I never forget it.
تبارك الله عليك 👏🇲🇦👆👆🇲🇦👆💚☝️ انتي رائعه في التقديم.
Wow, that recipe looks wonderful. I tried this once when I went to Rabat but my host mother made a very simple version without almonds or dates or meat. Thanks
So simple and yet so amazing!
Vermicelli here is Angel Hair Durum Wheat Pasta.
It has to be incredibly fine. Not your usual vermicelli labelled pasta.
Mercie bien
9 years later… Still watching this video everytime I cook Seffa 😅
Salamu3alaykum!
I dont have that couscous bowl, is there another way to steam it?
