Seffa Medfouna with Spiced Chicken TOP DISH, team Africa. Dave, who runs a content platform sharing traditional North African recipes, made a Moroccan dish in which savoury spiced chicken is buried beneath a mound of sweetened steamed vermicelli. He broke the vermicelli and steamed rather than boiled it, following Moroccan practice, and plated inside a tagine so the lid lift became the reveal moment. Medfouna means buried. The dish took a top 10 place for team Africa. Dialogue: {Dave}: "As a digital content creator, it is a lot harder than people think to continuously show up online, come up with ideas." {Dave}: "The dishes that always go viral are the ones that show someone a new cooking technique and a new dish that people look at and just think, like, what is that? Doing well tonight is insanely important. The opportunity to partner with Nick would mean so much for my channels." {Dave}: "So it's broken vermicelli. And I am steaming it because in Morocco, they do not boil pasta. And then the dish itself is going to be spiced chicken buried under a dome of sweetened vermicelli." {Dave}: "I do have a content platform of my own where I share traditional North African recipes. And I know that people always like seeing something new." {Dave}: "So I'm actually gonna plate it inside of a tagine. We'll have like the reveal and the chicken. Even more of a reveal." {Dave}: "Sweet and savory. It's a very iconic Moroccan pairing." {Dave}: "For the first time, to be at the top of team Africa, it feels amazing to be recognized because I'm a content creator. So to have that validation, it feels good." {Dave}: "I have made for you a Moroccan dish called Seffa Medfouna. Medfouna means buried and refers to the savory chicken that is buried under a mound of sweetened steamed vermicelli noodles."
