Al-Amīn al-Hajj Mustafa an-Nakīr

He describes the barbecue culture of Marrakesh as having originated in the Sahara, having been passed down by ancestors and having retained its traditional and distinct style.^[8] His grandparents practiced the craft of barbecue at a jōṭia (جوطية an open, periodic marketplace) near the current location of the carpet shops.^[8] There had been a dedicated alleyway for the grilling of heads, as head meat with sfenj was popular breakfast food at the time.^[8] Tanjia was the traditional food of the craftsmen.^[8]

He has a restaurant in Marrakesh called 'end l-amīn (عند الأمين lit. 'At the Amine's,' or Chez L'Amine in French).^[9]
