Ajlouk Qura A Mashed Zucchini Salad
In this tunisian salad (pronounced aj-luke coo-rah-ah), served as an appetizer with bread, the rich flavoring lifts the blandness of zucchini. Harissa, a spicy north african sauce made with chile peppers and garlic, is available in specialty markets. You can use a good pinch of ground chile pepper instead. (begin with a small dash--you can always add more). i am posting this dish for world tour 2-middle eastern
