À l’Algérienne

À L’ALGÉRIENNE À l’Algérienne is a French food expression that often means something with orange zest or juice in it. Other times, people just use the phrase to describe a dish that seems vaguely Arabic to them.

More traditionally, it was used to describe a garnish made of chopped tomato sautéed in oil along with sweet potatoes — either pressed into croquettes or butter fried.
