Lablabi

Stale bread torn into a bowl, buried under garlicky chickpeas and their broth, then dressed at the table with harissa, cumin, olive oil, tuna and a soft egg.

Receta de Tunisian street kitchens · 🏺 Tradicional · The counter-and-cart side of Tunisian food — fried to order, eaten standing, and hotter with harissa than any tourist expects.

Tunisian · breakfast soup — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms lablabi as a traditional Tunisian chickpea soup served over torn stale bread with garlic, cumin, harissa and olive oil. Quantities and method here are this book's own.

Pasos

  1. Bring the chickpeas and their liquid to a simmer with the garlic, half the cumin and a good pinch of salt. Give it 15 minutes.

  2. Soft-boil the eggs for 6 minutes, cool them in cold water and peel.

  3. Tear the bread into rough chunks and divide it between four deep bowls, filling each about half way.

    💡 Stale bread is the point — fresh bread turns to paste the moment the broth hits it.

  4. Ladle the hot chickpeas and plenty of broth over the bread and let it stand 2 minutes to soak.

  5. Top each bowl with a halved egg, tuna, capers and olives.

  6. Finish with harissa, the rest of the cumin, a hard pour of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Stir it all together to eat.

💡 Consejos

  • In Tunis this is what you eat at 7am, standing at a counter, in winter. It is built to be cheap, hot and filling.
  • The broth should be generous — lablabi is a soup, not a bowl of wet bread. Keep extra chickpea liquid to top it up.
  • Vegan version: leave out the egg and tuna. It stays a real, complete dish.
