Lablabi (with the egg option) in a Tunis restaurant | |
Lablabi or Lablebi (Arabic: لبلابي) is a Tunisian dish based on chick peas in a thin garlic and cumin-flavoured broth, served over small pieces of stale crusty bread.[1] It is commonly eaten in inexpensive restaurants. Raw or soft-cooked egg is nearly always added to the hot soup mix (thus cooking), along with olive oil, harissa, additional cumin, capers, tuna, Baklouti pepper and sometimes olives, garlic and vinegar or lemon or lime juice. Further garnishes may include cilantro (coriander), parsley and scallions. A traditional, but rarer, version, hergma, is made with cows' trotters.
