You feel that Tunisian cuisine is fulfilling
man, this is not food, this is a nuclear bomb
enjoy, that's delicious
This is a great dish
Good morning, welcome to a new video!
Today, we are resuming the "Street Food with 10$" series
Today from Tunisia !!
10$ in Tunisia is approximately equal to 30 Dinars
So we're going to see what we can eat with those 30 Dinars
of street food, from Tunis the capital
Salim from Tunisa will be joining and accomgning me today
Salim is knows everything about his country's food and will further help us
Finding what we are looking for
we came here to try a popular dish called " Kefteji"
in a very old restaurant called " Mataam aam Hussein"
This place has been open since 1958
and is well known for his "Kefteji" dish
Let's go see what this is all about
The "Kefteji" dish is apparently made up of fried pepper, eggs,
pumpin, tomatoes, chili paste (Harissa)
Along with salt, parsley and fried potatoes
they get chopped together
and the we add olive oil, and chili paste on top
And the dish is served
We order the "Kefteji" dish from this place
Let's try it and see
Naturally, the first thing you'll taste is the taste of the Harisse,
but the taste of the veggies, along with the eggs mixed together with olive oil
bring up a perfect taste !
One of the secrets of tunisian cuisine and "Kefteji" in general...
is the arabic "Harissa"
it should be natural , with the right amount of pepper, spices and garlic
So when I tried the "Kefteji" with this ....
Honestly, it made a huge difference
Thank you, it's delicious!
And so we finished our first dish, the"Kefteji"
You feel that Tunisian cuisine is full-filling
Like...it's a strong dish full of ingredients, with the spices and....
Honestly, I like.... and it costed about 3 and half dinars
Where will we go next, Salim ?
Now we'll go eat Lablabi !
Ohhhh! with Lablabi, a crime is about to happen !!
So we arrived to a region called "Sabat Dziri"
Where there's a restaurant that has been running since 1965
Its called "Mataam Awlad Hamad".
They sell a supposedly delicious Lablabi
This dish has been suggested for me by each and every tunisian
It seems like a strong incredible dish with some kind of secret behind it.
For you to eat Lablabi, you should first take a dish, bread, and crumble the bread in the plate
Let's do this first
Then you give your plate to the person working there, and he would add cooked chickpeas on top...
and of course, since we are in Tunisia, the popular "Arabic Harissa" is also added.
Next, the dish is topped with a hlaf-boiled egg along with olive oil mixed with cumin
And you take your plate !
We took our "Lablabi" and here we are.
Okay, so let's finish our dish
That way, we supposedly finished mixing our "Lablabi"
Man, this is a nuclear bomb, this is not food
Are you ready to eat Salim?
Nuclear Lablabi.
In Tunisia, when winter comes, we absolutely have to eat Lablabi; it keeps us very warm
Let's try ...
Honestly it's perfect. I tried it once before but didn't like it that much
But this dish.....It's perfect !
You feel as if you're eating soaked bread, but instead of being soaked.. naturally
it's soaked with spices ...with the flavors of "Harissa" and chickpeas
It could be considered close to "Fatteh" , to some extent
since it contains chickpeas and bread
Honestly, very nice
we cannot speak about tunisian street food without eating:
The Fricassee ! So, we came to this place located close to "Ibn Khaldoun" street
The Fricasse
It's basically a doughnut-like dough, fried
And it's stuffed with mashed potatoes, eggs..
and of course, "Harissa"
and it contains olives. Just that, very simple.
One of these costed about... 600 franc
This is a great dish !
the good part is, you can't tell whether you're eating something sweet or salty
It contains "Harissa", mashed potatoes, and eggs...
Yet the dough itself is sweet, a doughnut dough
you can taste sugar and the same sweetness of doughnuts, so....
I like it
Now, we came to try the " Mlawi"
Also one of the well known street foods
The "Mlawi" is actually this bread. see
it's made on Sajjeh for it to grill
and then, you can stuff it with whatever you want
toppings available are usually "Harissa", grilled salad,
and I also added salami, mortadella, olives, and onions
Some people like it with tuna, or eggs...you can add anything you want
And you eat it.
Usually, it could be eaten as a breakfast, lunch....anything.
Let's try it
You try now and tell us what you think
the grilled salad is amazing, it's all about this salad
For anyone traveling, this meal is incredible to be honest
also, it's extremely cheap
1 dinar 100 franc only.
Okay so, I am full.... But we'll continue with the tour
now I came to eat something called "Chapati Mahdia"
it's similar to pizza, has the same ingredients
then they close it and put it on a potter
it gets grilled and then served
The Chapati is done
it's served like this,
Let me cut it open in two halves
We ordered it with tuna, mozarella, harissa, olives, and onions
So I think the special thing about it is the bread,
it has a unique flavor because it was potter-grilled
The ingredients/toppings inside the sandwich get cooked along with the dough at the same time
which also gives it this special taste, with the melted cheese....
with....everyhting else inside it
this gives the sandwich a unique taste
One final dish remains for today
which is " the Tunisian Plate"
and this is why we came here, downtown Tunis, the capital
we saw this place that serves the Tunisian Plate so we'll enter
and order one
This dish is extremely popular in Tunisia
The Tunisian Plate is made up of grilled salad with Harissa...
topped with a variety of salads and vegetables
in addition to tuna
and in the middle, there's usually an egg
the dominant flavor is the tuna's...
with the Harissa
which are the two most important ingredients used in tunisian foods
and here is the last bite from today's street-food video
we didn't even spend 5$
everything we ate was in 3$ total
This was our Tunisian street food tour. Hope you guys liked it
tell me what guys think down in the comments
and what would you like me to film for the next time
May you travel more
Peace.
