Tunisia is closer to Italy than one might think, and tomato-based sauces are a traditional Tunisian staple. Much like in Italy, each sauce is region has their own version. This version uses the ingredients of the Testour region, which include tomatoes, artichokes, and pickled lemon. Incredibly versatile! This sauce is just as satisfying over pasta as it is over couscous. Fantastic for braising or as an accompaniment to grilled fish, baked chicken, roasted vegetables, and even pizza sauce. Les Moulins Mahjoub, has garnered international acclaim for their high-quality food products, commitment to heritage practices, and dedication to environmental stewardship. As with all of the Mahjoub products, this is produced using traditional Tunisian farming methods with no additives or artificial processes. It is 100% organic. These condiments do not have preservatives. To make them last longer: keep upright, top with olive oil upon opening (can do this every use if desired), and refrigerate.
