Eating raw egg can be quite dangerous so I was taken aback when I saw the egg on the assiette Tunisienne was practically raw. I had no idea if this was custom. I proceeded to eat because I couldn’t image they served raw egg by accident. The shan tounsi tasted great. There was tomato, cucumber, caper, olives, red chili, tuna, potato and harissa. There was also an orange coloured mixture, which I didn’t recognise. It could have been omek houria: pureed carrots spiced with garlic and harissa.
