Tunisia

Tunisia map

Tunisian cuisine blends North African, French, and Mediterranean influences, built around couscous, olive oil, and harissa chili paste. Seafood also plays a significant role along the country's coastline.

Couscous, often topped with fish or lamb, is widely regarded as Tunisia's national dish. Harissa, a fiery chili paste, accompanies many traditional meals.
