Tunisian Fricassee

This is not your typical fricassee by French standards. In French, a fricassee is typically a chicken dish with an assortment of sauteed vegetables. The word was somehow adapted by the Tunisian community where it is (when made properly) a defyingly light and airy dough that is fried, sliced open and then filled with tuna, mushrooms, hummus, tahini, boiled eggs, harissa, marmumah (spicy tomato fondue), and/or eggplant. In Tunisia it is sold by street vendors.

Though simplifying it, the dough is little more than a basic baguette dough. My wife is a true master of it. Of her 10 sisters and 3 brothers, none of them have the geesha (touch/feel) to prepare it as she does. Our Israeli friends familiar with the treat flock to our apartment in caravans when she gets the itch to prepare it as she did this past weekend. I gleefully go shopping, organize the apartment (by my standards), and take our daughter out to play so she can do what she needs to do. 

What's sexier than a pregnant woman in a tank top and an apron frying dough in the morning?
