Marget Gnaweyya – Tunisian Black Pepper & Chickpea Stew

Discover the deep, earthy warmth of Marget Gnaweyya, a rustic Tunisian stew rooted in tradition and rich with bold, simple flavors. Tender chickpeas are slowly simmered in a fragrant broth, heavily seasoned with generous amounts of crushed black pepper—the defining soul of this dish—alongside garlic, cumin, and a drizzle of golden olive oil. Sometimes enriched with lamb or beef, always cooked low and slow until the flavors meld into a comforting, peppery embrace.

This is peasant food at its finest: humble ingredients, transformed by patience and spice into something deeply satisfying. Served with crusty bread for dipping or spooned over fluffy couscous, Marget Gnaweyya warms you from the inside out.

Peppery. Hearty. Timelessly Tunisian.
