Waiting for a cook

Rouz Jerbi

Tunisia · Djerba and the south-east

What we know so far

Rouz jerbi is the green rice of the island of Djerba: raw rice mixed with chopped spinach or chard, parsley, peas, carrots, chickpeas and small pieces of lamb or chicken (often with liver), coated in olive oil, tomato and spices, and steamed in the top of a couscoussier until everything cooks together. It comes out fluffy, herby and red-flecked, and it is eaten as a complete meal, usually with fried green chillies on top. The whole country now cooks it, but the method is Djerba's.
