Salem Alekom,
As a wifey to a tunisian man, a woman has got to learn no?
So here are three EASY recipes for those interested
Bismelleh,
TUNISIAN SALAD
This salad is amazing on a hot day.
Ingredients:
One lemon
Oliver Oil
Salt and Pepper
One big english cucumber or a few small ones
Two tomatoes
One medium onion
Very Easy, chop the cucumber/onion/tomatoes in cubes.
Dress with olive oil and lemon juice salt and pepper
Put it in the refrigirator so on a hot day its cold and refreshing!
(p.s. results may vary lol)
TUNISIAN BRIK
Brik is something we eat during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Little heavy but amazing.
Ingredients:
Brik sheets (kinda like a thin thin rice paper almost)
Eggs
Salt and Pepper
A big bouquet of parsley
Onion
4 or five patatoes
you can add tuna if you like
Peel and boil patatoes until soft.
Remove water, mash patatoes with fork and add one bouquet of chopped parsley and chopped oignon. Mix so the heat from the patatoes wilts everything down.
Once done put in a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste.
Add eggs to mixture one at a time. You are look for a consistency thicker then an omelet. (Kinda pasty). This is the time to add tuna if you like.
The brik sheets are round so fold in the sides to make a square, spoon egg mixture in the center about two table spoons (the ones you eat). Remember the more you put the longer it takes to fry.
Fold the square in half so it makes a triangle. Deep fry. You can poke it with a fork to let air out and the oil get in to cook the inside.
It is cooked when your fork comes out clean.
This is served usually with lemon slices and very hot
TUNISIAN MECHOUIA
This is like a salsa now I use a thing made to crush tomatoes (my grand mother makes her own tomato sauce ) but for this purpose we will use a mini chopper or blender.
Ingredients:
two large green bell peppers
two long peppers (the spicy ones dont know how to say it )
(you can also add banana peppers or chili peppers depending how hot you like your food)
two large tomatoes
one large clove of garlic
(you can add tuna)
olive oil
salt and pepper
You need to grill or bake all of the veggies.
So until peppers are soft, until the garlic clove (leave skin on ) is mushy. The tomatoes are usually done first.
On a large sheet peel all the skins off the peppers and garlic clove.
Put all the veggies ina blender and pulse. Not too long just make sure everything is cubbed. Add salt and pepper
Serve on a flat plate under a large spoon full of oil. Garnish ontop with tuna.
