Harissa is a fiery Tunisian paste, made predominantly from red-hot chillies and used as an accompaniment to a wide variety of foods, in much the same way as the Italians use pesto, the Asians chilli sauce and the Indians their lime pickles.
Make as much harissa paste as you need at a time by simply mixing Herbie’s Spices Harissa mix with an equal amount of water, then just enough oil to create the consistency you desire. Delicious with North African rice and cous cous dishes, on cold meat sandwiches instead of mustard and with hommos on crusty bread. Fiery food lovers adore harissa sprinkled onto meats as a dry marinade before cooking.
