Tunisian Relish Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss shrimp with 1 tbs. olive oil, 1/8 teaspoons salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
• In a large skillet, heat remaining 1 tbs. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, scallions, garlic, cumin and remaining 1/8 teaspoons salt and saute for five minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes and saute for 3-5 minutes or until tomatoes are heated through. Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
• Add marinated shrimp to skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until pink.
• To serve, arrange shrimp on top on Tunisian Fresh Tomato Relish. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot over medium-low heat. Place onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and carrot in pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the red and yellow peppers and mushrooms; cook another 3 minutes. Vegetables should still be firm.
• Pour in the vegetable stock and season with paprika, cardamom, salt, and cilantro. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low. Stir in chickpeas and tomatoes. Slowly pour in the couscous; stir. Cover pot immediately and remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork. The couscous should have absorbed about half the cooking liquid.
• Serve at slightly warmer than room temperature. Garnish with orange zest and the grated cheese, paprika, and almonds.

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, potatoes, and chile peppers, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
• Return the skillet to the burner over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs to the bowl of vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
• Using two knives, cut into the eggs and vegetables, mincing the mixture up into small pieces until well blended. It will look mushy.
• In a separate bowl, mix the harissa with water, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture is pourable but still thick. Pour the harissa over the kaftaji and serve.
