Default Tunisian food in Manchester

Does anyone live around the manchester area? If so your boyf/hubby will be very please to know that you can buy harrissa from the shops in Rusholme which has actually been imported from Tunisia...you can also buy them little diamond shape brown cakes (that sometimes have pistastio nuts in) from rusholme too.

Tashas Tunisian Couscous Recipe takes approx 20mins and serves 4

Ingredients
3 tbsp Olive Oil
6 cloves of garlic, crushed
4 Red Capsi***s (Sweet Peppers), chopped
1 teasp Caraway seeds
1 teasp Harissa
Salt
Boiling Water
400g/14oz Couscous

Instructions

1. Place the couscous in a large mixing bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover by 12mm/1/2 inch. Cover tightly and leave for 10 minutes at which point check to see that it is cooked and that the water has been absorbed. It is ready when soft and aerated. If it isn't quite cooked, add a little more boiling water if necessary, stir gently, re-cover and leave for a few more minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, add garlic, peppers and seasonings and sauté over a medium heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring from time to time.

3. Once the couscous is cooked, add the contents of the frying pan to the couscous and mix well. Serve hot.

Enjoy !!

Salem Alekom,

Heres my recipees.

Bismelleh,

TUNISIAN SALAD
This salad is amazing on a hot day.

Ingredients:

One lemon
Oliver Oil
Salt and Pepper
One big english cu***ber or a few small ones
Two tomatoes
One medium onion

Very Easy, chop the cu***ber/onion/tomatoes in cubes.

Dress with olive oil and lemon juice salt and pepper

Put it in the refrigirator so on a hot day its cold and refreshing!

(p.s. results may vary lol)

TUNISIAN BRIK

Brik is something we eat during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Little heavy but amazing.

Ingredients:

Brik sheets (kinda like a thin thin rice paper almost)
Eggs
Salt and Pepper
A big bouquet of parsley
Onion
4 or five patatoes

you can add tuna if you like

Peel and boil patatoes until soft.
Remove water, mash patatoes with fork and add one bouquet of chopped parsley and chopped oignon. Mix so the heat from the patatoes wilts everything down.


Once done put in a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste.
Add eggs to mixture one at a time. You are look for a consistency thicker then an omelet. (Kinda pasty). This is the time to add tuna if you like.

The brik sheets are round so fold in the sides to make a square, spoon egg mixture in the center about two table spoons (the ones you eat). Remember the more you put the longer it takes to fry.

Fold the square in hald so it makes a triangle. Deep fry. You can poke it with a fork to let air out and the oil get in to cook the inside.

It is cooked when your fork comes out clean.

This is served usually with lemon slices and very hot


TUNISIAN MECHOUIA

This is like a salsa now I use a thing made to crush tomatoes (my grand mother makes her own tomato sauce ) but for this purpose we will use a mini chopper or blender.

Ingredients:

two large green bell peppers
two long peppers (the spicy ones dont know how to say it )
(you can also add banana peppers or chili peppers depending how hot you like your food)
two large tomatoes
one large clove of garlic
(you can add tuna)
olive oil
salt and pepper

You need to grill or bake all of the veggies.
So until peppers are soft, until the garlic clove (leave skin on ) is mushy. The tomatoes are usually done first.

On a large sheet peel all the skins off the peppers and garlic clove.

Put all the veggies ina blender and pulse. Not too long just make sure everything is cubbed. Add salt and pepper

Serve on a flat plate under a large spoon full of oil. Garnish ontop with tuna.
