Algerian cuisine

The cuisine of Algeria is influenced by Algeria's interactions and exchanges with other cultures and nations over the centuries.^[1] It is based on both land and sea products. Conquests or demographic movement towards the Algerian territory were two of the main factors of exchanges between the different peoples and cultures. The culinary traditions of Algeria, like that of many North African countries, have influences from Amazigh, Andalusian, Arab, Ottoman, Mediterranean, and French cuisines.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Algerian cuisine offers a variety of dishes depending on the region and the season, but vegetables and cereals remain at its core. Most of the Algerian dishes are centered around bread, meats (lamb, beef or poultry), olive oil, vegetables, and fresh herbs. Vegetables are often used for salads, soups, tajines, couscous, and sauce-based dishes. Of all the Algerian traditional dishes available, the most famous one is couscous, recognized as a national dish.^[5]
