TUNISIAN BAKLOUTI

Our Favorite Hot Pepper! The traditional pepper of Tunisia, a small country on the famed Barbary Coast that was once considered the “bread basket” of the Roman Empire.

Delicious flavor that is perfect with couscous and other wonderful North African dishes and is one of the best hot peppers for roasting and drying! Rich taste!

It is the main ingredient in harissa, a common sauce in Tunisian cuisine made from smoked ground pepper. It is named after the city of Bekalta. Baklouti peppers are elongated, about 15 to 20 centimeters in length, with slightly curved pods and mild flavor. It is also a key ingredient in Tunisian lablab
