Tajine Malsouka (Tunisian Tajine) - African Recipe
Tajine Malsouka is a distinct Tunisian dish that beautifully embodies the country's rich culinary heritage. Unlike the Moroccan slow-cooked stew which shares the same name, Tunisian Tajine is more akin to a savory quiche or Italian frittata. Its star ingredients are meat, often lamb or chicken, eggs, cheese, and a variety of vegetables enveloped in thin sheets of malsouka (similar to phyllo pastry). This dish is a staple in Tunisian homes and is often served during Ramadan or other festive gatherings. Traditionally, it's served warm, straight from the oven, and is typically accompanied by a fresh salad or a side of couscous.
