Assidat Zgougou (Tunisian Pine Nut and Sesame Cream for Breakfast)
The Tunisian breakfast is a moment of sharing, often hearty and fragrant. This assidat zgougou, a creamy pine nut and sesame cream, is a festive treasure (like for Mouloud) but also perfect for a chic brunch at home. Imagine the velvety texture, the sweetness of sugar mingling with the crunch of toasted pine nuts, all enhanced by a hint of orange blossom. You may wonder about the difference between Tunisian and Moroccan cuisine—Tunisia uses more chili (harissa) and fennel, but here we celebrate subtle pastry. For an authentic couscous, the key is fine semolina and seasonal vegetables. So go ahead, this comforting cream is ideal to surprise your loved ones with a unique flavor!
