Waiting for a cook
Tunisia
Mechouia means "grilled", and salade mechouia is the grilled salad of Tunisia: green peppers, tomatoes and sometimes onion charred over the flame, peeled, chopped fine or pounded, and dressed with garlic, olive oil, lemon and salt. It is served cold as a starter or a side to almost everything, and in cafés it comes topped with tuna, olives, capers and a hard-boiled egg. Every Tunisian summer table has it.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
