What happens when Chef Einat brings an Italian classic to the Middle East? This delicious dish! Beef is braised with Tunisian harissa for a tangy, slightly spicy twist on traditional Italian ragu. The remarkably flavorful sauce is tossed with orecchiette pasta and topped with green olives, feta and aromatic breadcrumbs for a symphony of flavors and textures.
