Waiting for a cook
Tunisia
A Tunisian tajine has nothing to do with the Moroccan clay-pot stew. It is a thick baked omelette, closer to a frittata or a crustless quiche: eggs beaten with cheese, parsley and cooked meat and vegetables, baked in a dish until golden, cooled and cut into squares. It is the Ramadan and picnic dish of Tunisia, eaten warm or cold with bread, a mechouia salad and harissa. The filling changes with the house: chicken and potato, minced meat and peas, tuna, spinach (tajine sibnekh), or wrapped in malsouka pastry.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
