Tunisian Fricassé (Tuna and Potato Sandwich)

Ingredients

• •3 cups all-purpose flour
• •2 tsp instant yeast
• •1 1/4 cups warm water
• •1 tsp salt
• •1 tsp granulated sugar
• •4 cups vegetable oil for frying
• •2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna, drained
• •2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• •3 eggs
• •1/3 cup harissa
• •1/2 cup green olives, sliced
• •2 tbsp preserved lemon, finely chopped

Directions

1. 1Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and warm water into a soft dough and knead for 6 minutes.
2. 2Cover the dough and let it rise for 45 minutes.
3. 3Boil potatoes for 10 minutes and eggs for 9 minutes, then cool and slice both.
4. 4Shape the dough into small oval rolls and fry at 350°F (175°C) until golden.
5. 5Split each fried roll and spread with harissa.
6. 6Fill with tuna, potato, egg, olives, and preserved lemon and serve.

💡 Fry the dough rolls until evenly golden but not dark; over-fried bread becomes too rigid to split and fill cleanly.
