Hraymi

🌶️

The same word and dish appear across the water in Jewish Libyan cooking too — Djerba's proximity to Tripolitania shaped its food as much as mainland Tunisia did.

Fish steaks are braised in a fiery, garlic-heavy red sauce, a preparation brought to the island by Djerba's Jewish community and shared today across the island's kitchens.

Why it's made this way: Hraymi reflects Djerba's layered culinary heritage, where North African, Jewish and Mediterranean seafood traditions have mixed for centuries on this small, historically cosmopolitan island.
