R'cif Bridge · Fried Liver Sandwich

Karan (Fried Liver Sandwich)

🥪
Photo coming soon

Vendors fry the liver alongside a fried egg and a potato cake, then stack all three into one khobz sandwich pocket rather than serving the liver on its own.

Thin slices of liver are seasoned and deep-fried alongside potato cakes and a fried egg, then packed into a split round of khobz bread with green chili and a sharp red sauce. Carts cluster near the R'cif bridge in the Fez medina, frying to order for a steady stream of lunch customers.

Why it's made this way: The assertive, iron-rich flavor of fried liver cut with chili made karan a favorite quick, filling lunch for medina workers who need something substantial on a tight budget.
