Tunisia

Our home in North Africa

Nabeul, Tunisia

...We have a house in Nabeul. It is three blocks from the Mediterranean Sea. Nabeul is a small city – a bit smaller than Santa Fe, NM. Unfortunately we are not in the desert, but we are planning a trip to the Sahara for next week. When we walk on the beach we often see people fishing. Once we saw a man in a wetsuit who was spear-fishing. When he came to shore we saw he had two octopi, a cuttlefish, and several other small fish skewered on a spear.....

Harissa is a hot sauce originating from Tunisia, but it’s popular throughout North Africa and the Middle East. It is a spicy chili paste that has many variations, ranging in flavor and intensity from mild to hot. Mayo and harissa are the basic condiments of Tunisia, and we learned to enjoy both condiments on just about everything, especially on fresh baked bread. Harissa sold us on Tunisian cuisine, and we instantly saw the potential of making this at home using New Mexico chilies. Since returning to the USA, we’ve been making large batches of harissa every fall during the chile harvest and freezing it in glass jars. We look forward to spreading it on fresh bread or on omelets all year long...

What do you get when two blissfully-ignorant lovebirds get the harebrained idea to schlep three children,
