🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe
Lablabi
Lablabi is the ultimate Tunisian comfort food and hangover cure, a humble chickpea soup that transcends its simple ingredients through layered flavors and textures. Served in every corner café and street stall across Tunisia, it starts with torn pieces of day-old bread soaked in a cumin-scented chickpea broth, then each diner customizes their bowl with harissa, olive oil, lemon juice, capers, olives, and a soft egg. It is nourishment for the soul.
