A bit of history
Whatever the name given to this spice, Tawabel, tabel, or tabil, literally means "coriander" in Maghreb dialect. Coriander is known for its digestive properties. Its origin is not precisely defined, and specialists place it in a vast area stretching from the Middle East to southern Europe.
Although popular throughout Algeria, tawabel originates from Tunisia to eastern Algeria.
It is women who are responsible for preparing the spice in large quantities in summer for year-round needs. There is no single recipe, but a composition passed down from mother to daughter.
This popular spice is used to season many dishes in Algeria and Tunisia.
Tawabel is used in the preparation of chakchouka, a spicy fricassee with olive oil, red pepper, tomato, and onion. At the end of cooking, eggs are added to the still-hot mixture.
Algerian tomato and onion kaldis are seasoned with tawabel.
What does my Tawabel spice contain?
I chose to make a mild and very fragrant blend. The roasting of certain spices enhances the fragrance and brings notes of coffee to the blend.
Mint and rose enhance the condiment and pink berries from Madagascar bring a light touch of chili.
Bring an oriental touch to your soups, called "chorba" in Arabic and a popular dish from the Maghreb, the "Arab sunset" to Southeast Asia.
Couscous lovers flavor the cooking broth of vegetables and meats with this condiment rich in flavors.
Hash browns, grilled eggplant slices and all sorts of Mediterranean cooking recipes are just waiting for your steady hand to add flavor.
What does my Tawabel spice contain?
In its country of origin, this spice can be very hot.
Hot chili peppers are often a feature of Maghreb spice blends. Reducing the heat doesn't detract from the exotic flavor of my floral recipe.
