Meringue Ingredients 200 gr. egg yolks 400 gr. sugar Meringue Preparation Fill a pot with about 2cm/1inch water and bring to a boil.

Tunisian Banatages

July 10, 2014

Banatages are moist, yummy Tunisian fried potato and meat balls. Like any other regional recipe, there are bound to be a hundred versions of it – this is the way my family likes to make it.

Turmeric Filling: 1 large onion 1 handful parsley (leaves only) 500 gr. ground beef Salt ½ tsp. Turmeric Coating: Coarse breadcrumbs (or matzo meal for Passover) or coarse GF breadcrumbs (I mixed…
