Chef's Note
For authentic Tunisian flavor, the harissa paste is key - it provides a complex heat that defines this dish. If you can't find harissa, substitute with 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper mixed with a pinch of caraway seeds. The extra egg whites boost protein without adding too many calories, making this perfect for a high-protein diet.
