Why Mechouia Salad deserves more attention

Mechouia Salad rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The bright with preserved lemon complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using tabil coriander spice blend correctly takes real skill.

Tunisian cuisine is the spiciest of the Maghreb cuisines thanks to the importance of harissa. I encountered it first in a seaside fish restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. Celtia beer is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Mechouia Salad is the dish to start with.
