Algerian Tli Tli B’djedj – Pasta With Chicken!, This is our family recipe for the very traditional Algerian dish tli tli You can make tli tli with chicken or meat – the meat recipe is slightly different & I will post it later You can use any tiny pasta for this but traditionally homemade tli til pasta OR orzo / bird’s tongue that is used My kids love it when use the tiny stars or shells also Traditionally we steam the pasta for this but you can cook it for 4 minutes or so in plenty of lighty salted water before adding the sauce – the pasta needs to absorb quite a bit of the sauce so keep it undercooked , Good! We enjoyed it very much I liked the boiled eggs with it, I did however use only 1/2 lbs of orzo and 4 chickentighs the rest I did just like the recipe called for and we both enjoyed it alot, will fix it regular, thank you for sharing
