🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe
Mechouia
Mechouia, meaning 'grilled' in Arabic, is Tunisia's beloved roasted salad that showcases the Tunisian genius for coaxing maximum flavor from simple vegetables through fire. Peppers, tomatoes, and onions are charred over open flames until blackened and blistered, then peeled, mashed, and dressed with the finest olive oil. The result is a smoky, silky, deeply flavored salad that graces every Tunisian table as a starter.
