Street food Bambalouni — the authentic version

The best Bambalouni I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The fiery and aromatic intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. preserved lemon was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

Tunisia is the world's third largest olive oil producer and olive oil underpins the cuisine. The a Tunis medina restaurant setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. fresh lemon juice was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
