Its pretty much a meal in itself, but can any of you recommend a light side dish to go with it(aside from good bread?)

Hey, for me its a meal in itself,especially if there is lamb or chicken in it!

When I make it with meat it is a meal in itself too....or at least we won't eat anything else for a few hours afterwards. Actually, at my in-laws they don't put meat in it but we don't eat anything else for a while either....
You could have dates and hard boiled eggs with it.
And from some book it says a Ramadan dinner for 8 could have:
Harira, scrambled eggs, dates, shebbakia, lamb tagine, and bread of course! Not light but you could take the lamb out of the harira recipe and use if for the tagine.

Hmm, interesting q. To me harira is a starter so side dish with it doesn't make sense to me.
Of course sometimes we eat just harira but no sides with it.
Maybe lentils or white beans.
