Khlea

Khlea is a Moroccan specialty consisting of preserved dried meat that is usually made in advance, at least two days ahead. The meat, often lamb or beef, is cut into strips and rubbed with spices, then dried in the sun and cooked in a combination of oil, fat, and water.

The dried strips are stored in cooking fat, then refrigerated. Khlea can be served with eggs or it can be used as a filling for numerous dough-based dishes.
