That was my comfort food in my native Tunisia. It was our Wednesday lunch. Loved it. I now make it for my family on special occasions. By the way, I found the most authentic tunisian cookbook that takes me back to my teenage years in Tunisia. La cuisine juive tunisienne, by andree zana murat. According to my mother, it is most authentic. Plus my mom grew up in the same building as the author. Childhood friends.
