🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe
Tajine Tunisien
Not to be confused with the Moroccan slow-cooked stew, Tunisian tajine is an entirely different creation: a thick, set egg-and-cheese dish similar to an Italian frittata or Spanish tortilla, but with distinctly North African flavors. Enriched with cheese, studded with chicken or meat, and fragrant with parsley and turmeric, it is baked until golden and firm, then cut into squares or diamonds. It is a fixture at celebrations, picnics, and Ramadan tables across Tunisia.
