Tunisian Tagine

Arabic Cuisine

Tunisian tagine is very delicious recipe. You can serve it as side dish or breakfast. Tunisian tagine is completely unlike a Moroccan tagine. In Tunisia, a tagine resembles an Italian frittata. I can guarantee that the whole family will love it. So try it

INGREDIENTS

• 8 eggs

PREPARATION

1. Boil 2 eggs for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Peel and chop potatoes. Fry in olive oil with salt, turmeric and cumin.
3. Fry onions lightly, then add chicken liver and some salt. Let fry for a few minutes, then add harissa to taste (I use a dessert spoon or more) and some water. Let simmer until most of the liquid is gone. Add some of the parsley and let cool.
4. Prepare the rest of the vegetables.
5. Peel and chop the boiled eggs.
6. Mix vegetables, meat, potatoes, boiled eggs and about 150 grams cheese in a bowl. Add the six raw eggs, salt, turmeric, cumin and crushed coriander seeds (and more harissa if you wish).
7. Pour vegetable oil in an oven proof dish and pour mixture into it. Place remaining cheese on top.
8. Bake in 180 degrees Celsius oven (medium heat) for 20-30 minutes.
9. Cut into pieces and serve

NOTICE

If you don't have harissa - use another hot condiment that you like (or just leave it out if you don't like it), like Sambal Oelek or whatever suits you. Or, dried chili powder
