Fez - Khlii Shop / The billion calories photography

khlii is a way to preserve meat (jerky) that dates from several centuries ago refrigeration was non existent in the world. The meat is cut into strips, marinated with various spices and then dried in the sun for days before it's cooked in a mixture of beef fat, oil and water. The meat, once cooled, will keep for up to two years at room temperature when packed in its own fat where it cooked. This practice was very practical then, and remains a well sought after delicacy, by Moroccans in their day to day life.
