Grandmother Latifa poured a soul-firing chickpea stew atop days' old bread husks, topping it with kicky harissa and a boiled egg to create a lablebi - a worker's lunch that is both filling and comforting in equal measure. I ate this in Latifa's chaotic kitchen surrounded by various family members, arms crisscrossing over a retro print tablecloth to seek out favourite toppings (capers, spicy chilli, harissa, eggs, tuna) for their lablebi.
