🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe
Salade Mechouia
While mechouia typically refers to the rustic mashed version, Salade Mechouia is its more refined cousin, where the same fire-roasted vegetables are finely diced rather than mashed, creating an elegant composed salad. Arranged on a plate and adorned with premium canned tuna, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and capers, it transforms from humble grilled vegetables into a stunning first course worthy of any celebration. It is served at every important meal in Tunisia.
