It is unthinkable to remove the kafteji from the repertoire of Tunisian cuisine as this vegetable dish symbolizes the flavors of the country. So much so that we exchange the best addresses where to enjoy it as a dish or, in a rogue way, in the form of a filled sandwich with or without meat.

  1. Dice (± 1 cm) pumpkin, potatoes, zucchini, peppers (without seeds), tomatoes, onion. Add minced garlic cloves.
  2. Mix everything with traditional harissa or sundried tomatoes Harissa by Les Moulins Mahjoub and extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Season with salt and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 30 min. Stir occasionally.
  4. Serve with chopped parsley, a few slices of raw onion and a poached egg.

Bon appétit!
