🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe
Fricassé
Fricassé is Tunisia's most beloved street food, a golden, pillowy fried bread roll split open and generously stuffed with a savory filling that hits every flavor note: briny tuna, fiery harissa, creamy boiled egg, tangy pickled vegetables, and salty olives and capers. Every neighborhood has its own fricassé vendor, and arguments over who makes the best one are a national pastime. The dough is enriched with semolina and egg, yielding a bread that is crispy outside and cloud-soft within.
