Rfissa (Arabic: رفيسة) is an Amazigh (berber) Moroccan dish[2][3] and is served during various traditional celebrations.[4]

It is traditionally served with chicken and lentils and fenugreek seeds (tifiḍas in Amazigh, helba in Arabic), msemmen, meloui or day-old bread, and the spices blend ras el hanout.[5]

It is traditional to serve rfissa to a woman who has just given birth, as fenugreek is purported to be beneficial for women that are recovering from childbirth.[6]

Rfissa is prepared with Moroccan Msemen leaves cut lengthwise.[7]

This dish did not appear in Moroccan cookbooks until the 1990s.[6] The cultural historian Anny Gaul suggests that this might be due to the fact that rfissa is related to rural culinary traditions, whereas the people writing cookbooks for a long time were mostly Fesi elites.[8]
