Tunisian Bejma Recipes
TUNISIAN BEJMA
Walking through the colorful Belleville market in Paris one Friday morning, I came across a Jewish bakery. Glancing in the window, I was surprised to see a triangular Tunisian Friday night bread called bejma, made out of three balls of dough. It was similar in flavor to a good eastern European challah. A few years later, I passed by a branch of Charles Traiteur, on the Boulevard Voltaire, and there was the bejma again, this time placed right next to the eastern European challah.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- Add three of the eggs, the vegetable oil, the salt, and the remaining sugar. Slowly work in enough flour to make a soft, tacky dough. Beat in the mixer, or knead by hand on a floured surface for 10 minutes, or until smooth. Place the kneaded dough in a large greased bowl, and let it rise, covered, for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and grease a cookie sheet. Punch down the dough, and divide it into nine pieces about the size of tennis balls. Arrange three rounds together, touching, on the greased cookie sheet, to form a triangle. Repeat with remaining dough. Let rise, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
- Beat the remaining egg with a little water, and brush the dough with the egg wash. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden.

- In a large heavy-bottom, ovenproof skillet or dutch oven heat to the oil. Cut chicken into bigger bite-sized pieces, 1-2 inches, and generously salt and pepper and sprinkle with chili powder (If using chickpeas, see notes). Sear chicken 5 minutes on each side, turning the heat down to medium if necessary until it’s golden brown. While chicken is searing, prep the veggies.
- Slice the carrots at diagonal ⅓ inch thick. Slice the onions into rings ⅓ inch think, then cut into half-moons. Rough chop the garlic, and finely mince the ginger. Chop the apricots.
- When Chicken is golden, remove it from the pan, and set it aside on a plate (it will finish cooking in the oven). Add the onions and carrots to the same pan (adding a tad more oil if need be) and cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring very often. Turn heat to medium and cook for just a few more minutes until onions become tender. Add the garlic and ginger, sauté for 2 minutes. Add the spices, and sauté for one minute to bring out their flavor. Add the salt, sugar, undrained tomatoes, dried apricots and water. Bring to a simmer and stir a bit. Once it’s simmering, stir in the couscous. Nestle in the chicken cover and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
