Trying to figure out if i got food poisoning from a dish being too old or i just ate much loubia in the past five days even in small increments tht the gas was too much to handle...or i just ate too much with a single serving. Like i get the symptoms of food poisoning constantly bc of gastroparesis....
neway im about to wash all of the containers that used to have food that i detest and that went bad because my doesn't know how much food my sister and i can eat or even want to eat. Im going to be wearing an n95 while doing this bc the smell of loubia, adessa and harira makes me retch because im a disgrace to my heritage

hello najia, we've always made loubia beans like a dal at home in india, so tomorrow i'm going to try it your (the original?) way! i have two questions though:
i got harissa paste from the store instead of powder. how can i substitute that in? should i add it earlier on when blooming the spices or later on with the tomato?
if one were not vegan so open to adding meat, what stocks would you recommend? what meat stocks are typically used in moroccan loubia? what do stocks do to the flavour apart from making it thicker and richer? (i've never used stocks in cooking and I'm very interested in trying it with dal for example!)
"Loubia" is just sort of the word for "beans" (or certain kinds of beans) so I'm sure it's used by people from different countries in different ways--in Morocco it's used to refer specifically to the stew made by cooking white beans with tomato, onion, olive oil, spices &c. The same cooking method used on a different base product gives you "l'des" (similarly just the word for "lentils," but we mostly use it to refer to lentils cooked in this particular way). Some people throw everything into the pot at the same time, while others fry off the onion, garlic, and tomato first and then add the beans and water (which I go into more in my l'des recipe).
I mentioned harissa powder as a potential alternative to red chili powder, which some people include in loubia & some people don't. Harissa paste isn't a typical inclusion in these stews--we use it as a condiment with a finished meal (couscous, kebabs, &c.). If you're going to use chili powder, keep in mind that here this refers to just dried, powdered red chili peppers, not "chili powder" the spice blend used to flavor "chili" the dish. You could also use a slit fresh red or green chili, cayenne powder, a dried red chili broken into several pieces, or just omit it.
Both loubia and l'des are very frequently vegetarian. Some people add cured dried meat (al qadid), ground beef (kefta), or cubed beef (al Hem). If you're adding beef, it should be fried at the beginning before adding beans and water.
These bean / pulse stews typically use water. The 'stock' you would get if you included meat would just result from the meat simmering in the water along with the other ingredients (which is what my suggestion for vegetable stock or faux beef stock concentrate is seeking to mimic).
Here's a video recipe for loubia including meat. Some words:
maqadir: ingredients
al-Hem: meat / beef
bSla: onion (she says "jouj bSla," "two onions". later she says "bSla Hmra," red onion, and "bSla bayda," white onion)
matesha: tomato (later she specifies that she has pureed four tomatoes)
kaas dyal zit: tea glass of [olive] oil
chwiya dyal mlHa: a little salt
zafran khirqum: fake saffron used for colouring purposes
touma: garlic
qzbara wa madnous, mqtte': minced cilantro/coriander and parsley
flflat Harin: spicy peppers
skinjbir: ginger (jouj ma'lqa sghar--two small spoonfulls)
bzar: black pepper (two spoons)
khirqum / khirqum bldi: turmeric (two spoons)
kilo dyal loubia: 1 kilogram of white beans
