Algeria and its Cuisine

Algeria (Arabic: الجزائر, Al Jaza'ir IPA: [ɛlʤɛˈzɛːʔir], Berber: , Dzayer [ldzæjər]) is oficially known as: الجمهورية الجزائرية الديمقراطية الشعبية Al-Jumhūrīyah al-Jazā’irīyah ad-Dīmuqrāṭīyah ash-Sha’bīyah (ar) [People's Democratic Republic of Algeria] and is the second-largest country on the entire African Continent and is an Islamic, Arab and Berber country. The name Algeria itself is derived from the name of the city of Algiers, from the Arabic al-jazā’ir (The Islands) which refers to the four islands that lie off the city's coast

Along with Tunisia and Morocco, Algeria forms part of the Maghreb region of North Africa and the basis for Algerian cookery is Maghrebi cuisine. However, Algeria is a diverse country and much of the food is local in nature, influenced by the traditions of the local populations. Some of the main spices used in Algerian cooking are: cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, star anise, turmeric, ginger, allspice, green and black cardamom, wild fennel, long pepper, rose-buds, cloves, grains of paradise, black pepper, chilies, coriander and cumin.This cuisine also has a long tradition of using preserved meat and fruit. Fish, goat, lamb, beef and chicken are also frequently used for stews, roasts and barbecues.

Historically, Algerian cuisine is a melange of the various influences on the country and it's possible to see Berber, Arab, Turkish, and French traditions within the country's recipes.
