Tagine malsouka (Tunisian Arabic: ملسوقة), or malsouqa, is a Tunisian dish composed of sheets of malsouka dough, stuffed with a savory filling.[1]
The Arabic name comes from لصق (lasaqa) meaning "to stick", referring to the cooking process of taking a ball of raw dough and sticking it to the heated pan to create the layered malsouka sheets.[2] The name Malsouka can refers to both the pastry and the dish.
The Tunisian tagine refers to the savory dish itself, unlike the Moroccan version, pastilla,[3] which indicates the utensil into which a stew is prepared and served, akin to the English meat pie. The Tunisian one, filled with eggs, vegetable or meats, is often enjoyed cold as a finger food.
