Tunisian Ojja (Egg dish)

Tunisian Ojja (Egg dish)

Ojja is a beloved North African culinary treat, particularly popular in Tunisia. This excellent dish is centred on the harmonic union of eggs and a lively tomato sauce, which is boosted by a variety of aromatic spices such as paprika and cumin and is frequently accompanied by the spicy notes of harissa.
