This Instant Pot Harira Soup is a deliciously authentic Morrocan stew that makes a perfect appetizer or main course. It’s a popular dish during Ramadan and it’s bursting with flavor!
What Makes This Instant Pot Harira Soup So Delightfully Delicious
If you’re never had Hirira soup before, I’ll walk you through what you’re missing. It’s a thick, hearty soup filled with legumes and veggies .
It’s seasoned with warm, exotic spices that whisk you away from the cool weather and make you love each bite more and more. The harissa paste makes this soup full of all the flavors you’d expect from a Moroccan dish !
I make this Harira soup easy by using a 15 bean mix. It’s also traditional to make this soup with lentils , or other legumes, but I find the 15 bean mix gives it great flavor and wonderful texture.
I call for a homemade harissa paste in this recipe. It takes less than 5 minutes to make , will last for months, and is an excellent marinade for soups. It’s all spice with no tomatoes and whatnot, so do not substitute commercial harissa for this, as it will taste quite different.
How To Make The Homemade Harissa Paste
- Combine Ingredients. In a medium microwave-safe bowl , combine all the harissa ingredients.
- Microwave. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring halfway through the cooking time. (You can also heat this on the stovetop until the oil is hot and bubbling. Or, if you must use your air fryer for everything, cook in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the paste is heated through.)
How To Make Instant Pot Harira Soup
- Add Ingredients. Place the unsoaked beans, tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, harissa paste, turmeric, salt, pepper and water into the Instant Pot .
- Cook. Press PRESSURE COOK and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 30 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes and then release all remaining pressure.
- Puree. Using the back of a spoon or an immersion blender , roughly puree some of the soup to thicken.
- Serve. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and parsley and serve.
Tips And Tricks For Making Harira Soup
- Make sure you use the homemade harissa paste to make this soup. It really makes a huge difference in how the soup turns out, and it’s well worth the extra little bit of work.
- You can also use a package of frozen Mirepoix mix (onions, carrots, and celery) to make prep time faster.

Instant Pot Harira Soup https://twosleevers.com/instant-pot-harira-soup/
If you’re looking for a quick, simple, gluten-free, vegan dessert recipe, you will love this easy Ginger Cassava Cake recipe. No grating cassava, no cans of condensed milk, just 4 quick ingredients.
This Ginger Cassava Cake delightfully sweet, moist and positively scrumptious, and is a great dessert option for those days when you want to bake but don’t feel like measuring out tons of ingredients.
But don’t let the simplicity of the recipe fool you. This Ginger Cassava Cake an absolute treat that you’re sure to love!
What is Cassava?
Cassava is a shrub that is native to South America. The portion that is used to make Cassava flour is actually the tuberous root of the plant.
Cassava is high in Vitamin C and is a great source of energy as well. Though it is commonly known for being used to produce tapioca, it’s also used as a potato-like side, in soups or as a flour in desserts.
You will need to get cassava flour for this recipe. You can find it easily in African grocery stores–but if you’re like me, the problem is FINDING an African grocery store near your house!
What Makes this Ginger Cassava Cake Amazing?
Now that you know what Cassava is, let’s get to why this Ginger Cassava Cake recipe is so great!
- 4 ingredients. First of all, it only takes 4 ingredients to make. No, that’s not a typo. It legitimately only takes 4 ingredients.
- Simple. All that it takes to make this delicious dessert is mixing the ingredients together, pouring the batter into a pan and throwing it in the oven for half an hour. How’s that for simple?
How To Make Ginger Cassava Cake
- Grease a 6-in baking pan and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Whisk together cassava flour, coconut milk, Truvia or sugar, and minced ginger in a medium bowl. Pour into the prepared bowl.
- Bake at 350F for 30 minutes and then allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Slice into 6 wedges and serve hot.
What is the Texture of This Cake?
This is a recipe I made up one day, after I returned from Belize where I saw them making sweets with Cassava flour.
Then, I had a friend who was teaching me about Nigerian cuisine and she was using cassava to make a pounded cassava bread . I decided to make a sweet cake with it instead.
- Texture. The cake is moist, but it most resembles a moist cornbread in texture.
- Taste. The taste of the ginger is sweet, and warming, but not spicy.
- Sugar. You can use sugar instead of Swerve in this cake.
What makes this Cassava Cake Recipe Different?
- No grated yucca. Most of the other cassava cake recipes you will find are recipes for a Filipino cassava cake. That cake uses condensed milk (or, sugar overload!). Many of them also ask you to start with grated Yucca. There is no grated Yucca to be found in my suburban neck of the woods!
- Cassava flour. My recipe calls for cassava flour to help you skip a few steps.
- No condensed milk. There is no condensed milk in this one, just coconut milk from a can. So basically this is a cake you can make with pantry staples–once you get the cassava flour of course!
Can I freeze this Cassava Cake?
I am not sure that I would. There’s really so little in this cake. No egg, no butter, nothing that would hold up, except the fat in the coconut milk. I think you should plan to eat this within a day or two.
