  • About

This egg and date scramble - believed to be of Persian origin - makes good use of Siwa’s most abundant crop. Cooked with olive oil, eggs and soft, caramelized dates, it strikes a perfect balance of sweet and savoury. The eggs whip up in hardly any time at all and can be served with Siwan date bread and lueza tea for the full array of Siwa specialities.
