Nicknamed the dish that never ends, mloukhia (or mloukhiya) is a classic of Tunisian cooking made from ground jute leaves (corète) and cooked with beef and merguez.

Don’t judge it by its looks: it’s a wonderful dish that you’ll love mopping up with a good Italian-style bread.

Shakshuka with merguez is an easy and truly wonderful dish: the tomatoes and bell peppers melt into a confit, then a runny egg goes on top. Perfect for a light Mediterranean-style meal!

Here’s a recipe idea to make with brik pastry sheets, this time without frying - a crispy brik roll filled with merguez! A quick, flavorful recipe.
