Khobz Mahchi

What we know so far

Khobz mahchi, "stuffed bread", is the Tunisian semolina galette folded over a filling and cooked dry on a hot tajine or pan until golden on both faces. The dough is the same yeasted semolina and flour dough as the plain galette; the filling is onion, pepper and tomato fried with parsley and Tunisian spices (tabel, paprika, turmeric), with tinned tuna and, for those who like it, grated cheese. It is a Ramadan starter with chorba, a lunch sandwich, and street food from the kiosks of Tunis.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
