What Is Harissa Spice Blend?
Harissa is a well-known spice paste from the Maghreb region of North Africa. Traditionally made from chili peppers, garlic, and spices like coriander and cumin, it is an essential condiment across Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. Our Harissa Spice Blend allows you to create your own paste easily at home – with full control over the intensity.
A Taste of North Africa
North African cuisine is known for its fiery, aromatic flavors. Harissa is found on tables throughout the region and is used to season nearly any dish – from soups and meat to couscous and vegetables. Our version is moderately spicy and well balanced. If you prefer more heat, feel free to add extra chili powder to suit your taste.
How to Make Harissa Paste
To prepare a classic Harissa paste, simply mix the spice blend with a high-quality olive oil until you reach the desired consistency. Store in a sealed jar and cover with a thin layer of oil to preserve freshness. The paste adds warm heat and complexity to dishes inspired by the flavors of North Africa.
