Tunisian Chickpea and Spinach Soup (Bazilla)
Let me tell you the story of this Tunisian chickpea and spinach soup, a true gem from my grandmother's kitchen. It's one of the most comforting traditional Tunisian dishes, especially in winter. Unlike Moroccan cuisine, often sweeter and saltier with cinnamon and dried fruits, Tunisian cuisine relies on the heat of harissa and warm spices like cumin. Here, cinnamon adds just a subtle touch. As you prepare this Bazilla, you'll capture the very essence of Tunisian culinary art: simple ingredients, slow cooking, and lots of love. Serve it with a squeeze of lemon to awaken the taste buds.
