Waiting for a cook

Ommik Houria

Tunisia

What we know so far

Ommik houria ("Houria's mother") is the Tunisian cooked carrot salad that opens nearly every meal: carrots boiled soft, crushed roughly with a fork and dressed with olive oil, garlic, cumin, caraway and harissa, then topped, as any Tunisian salad is, with tuna in oil, black olives and quartered hard-boiled eggs, and parsley. It is served cold or warm with bread beside mechouia, and it is the salad restaurant tables carry all year. Coriander is not Tunisian here; parsley is.

The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
