Spicy Tunisian Sauce with Smoky Peppers and Tomatoes (Mild Harissa)
This spicy Tunisian sauce, inspired by harissa but softened with smoked peppers, is a direct trip to the souks of Tunis. As you make it, you'll discover the richness of Tunisian cuisine, known for its fragrant spices and hearty stews. Unlike Moroccan cuisine, which favors sweet and savory with dried fruits, Tunisia goes for bolder, spicier flavors. Perfect alongside couscous, eggs, or fish, it's ready in no time. Try it—it'll add a sunny touch to your meals.
