Method
Gradually work the barley flour with boiling water and salt into a firm, round dough, cooking it and stirring for a long time with a special stick (the maghraf).
Shape the dough into a dome in the centre of the dish.
Prepare a spicy red meat sauce and arrange it with the hard-boiled eggs around the dome.
Serve the bazin with the spicy sauce and eggs; it is Libya’s best-known national dish.
