Harissa Recipes
Harissa is from Tunisia and is popular all over the Mediterranean, particularly in North Africa. The word harissa simply means to pound in Arabic. In this case it means to pound all the ingredients into a paste.
Harissa is synonymous with a spicy red sauce made from roasted baklouti peppers, spices, and tomatoes. Most often, it’s used to add flavor to couscous, vegetables, seafood, and meats.
You can make harissa from scratch, with gives you the ultimate control over the flavor. You can toss harissa into carrots, make it into a Cava inspired harissa vinaigrette or my favorite, add it to Moroccan zaalouk!
