Tunisian Tuna, Hard-Boiled Egg and Olive Sandwich (The Market Classic)
Ah, the tuna, hard-boiled egg, and olive sandwich… a true taste of a Tunisian market! Picture yourself strolling through colorful stalls, the aroma of grilled harissa and warm bread enveloping you. This sandwich is the heart of Tunisian street food: simple, generous, yet incredibly flavorful. Harissa gives that fiery kick that awakens your taste buds, the melting tuna pairs perfectly with the creamy egg, and the black olives add a rustic, earthy note. It’s a dish to share, to eat with your fingers, standing or sitting on a bench. A key difference between Tunisian and Moroccan cuisines is the heavy use of tomatoes and peppers in Tunisian sauces, plus the ever-present homemade harissa, the queen of spices. And for an authentic Tunisian couscous, you need firm vegetables, good lamb or chicken, and a tomato sauce spiced with cumin and garlic—the secret to a couscous that tells a story. So go ahead, let your kitchen fill with Mediterranean good vibes!
