Hrous, or hrouss, is a Tunisian spicy chili pepper paste condiment.
Two types exist: The first one, a simple paste prepared from fresh chili peppers with a few spices.,[1] is most prevalent in the North-East, while the second type is the hrouss specific to the Gabes region, prepared with equal portions of salt-pickled onions and dried chili pepper powder.[2]
