ojja merguez

Tunisia · Middle East and North Africa

Short description: This skillet dish sets eggs into a fiery tomato-pepper sauce with spiced sausage for a fast, hearty meal.
Ingredients: Merguez sausage, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, harissa, olive oil, and caraway cooked together.
Cultural note: The dish is direct and flexible, built for bread-dipping and quick cooking rather than elaborate plating.
Common misconception: It is related to other egg-and-tomato dishes, but the sausage and chile paste give this version its bite.
