Seffa is a Maghrebi dish of sweetened semolina couscous mixed with butter, cinnamon, and almonds, sometimes made instead with vermicelli or rice in place of the couscous. A version made with meat and butter together, considered distinctively Moroccan, is traditionally found in Muslim households, since Jewish dietary law forbids combining meat and dairy, while Moroccan Jewish communities instead prepare a simpler version flavored with just sugar and cinnamon for the Mimouna celebration. Seffa is generally eaten at the end of a meal, before dessert, and is a frequent dish at traditional wedding ceremonies and family gatherings.
