TUNISIAN HARISSA

Harissa is a blend of spices with red pepper and garlic. Its consistency is like tomato paste. It is used in Tunisia and Algeria, and probably all over North Africa, to add rich, spicy, hot flavor to prepared food. It's also used as a snack, spread on french bread (or other bread) that has been spread with olive oil. You can use harissa in many other dishes, just to spice things up!

TUNISIAN HARISSA SAUCE

From vegetarian recipe site. Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili sauce whose main ingredients are piri piri (type of chili pepper), serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, red chili powder, caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil. In Tunisia, harissa is used as an ingredient in a meat (goat or lamb) or fish stew with vegetables, and as a flavoring for couscous. It is also used for lablabi, a chickpea soup usually eaten for breakfast.

  • Soak and prepare the dried chiles. Place the dried chiles in a heat-safe bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside for 30 minutes until the chiles are tender and re-hydrated. Drain the chiles and remove the stems and seeds.
  • Combine chiles with the remaining ingredients. Transfer the chiles to the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade. Add the tomato paste, roasted red peppers, garlic, ground caraway seeds, coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), and a large pinch of kosher salt. Add fresh lemon juice.
  • Make the harissa paste. Run the food processor, and while it’s running, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil from the top opening. Stop the processor to scrape down the sides and run again until you reach the desired paste-like texture. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking (remember that harissa paste will deepen in flavor as it sits in the fridge over the next day or two).
  • Store. Transfer the harissa paste to a clean mason jar. Cover with a very thin layer of extra virgin olive oil, then cover the jar with its lid tightly and refrigerate.

  • Pan-Roasted Chicken with Harissa Chickpeas. If you do end up going with a store-bought version of harissa, be sure to taste before adding. There's a huge difference in spice levels in different brands of jars and tubes.
  • Chicken Cacciatore with Harissa, Bacon, and Rosemary. Chicken cacciatore, that slow-cooked Italian classic of chicken thighs and tomato sauce, could use some shaking up.
  • Harissa-and-Maple-Roasted Carrots. Next time you make a rich main like lamb, this spicy side of harissa-glazed carrots belongs on the table. The heat breaks through the fatty cut of lamb, and the spicy character of harissa works with the gamier flavors.
  • Panfried Sea Bass with Harissa & Rose. Take a meaty fish like sea bass to eleven with a harissa and rose sauce. In this recipe, use harissa as a marinade and to finish the dish as it simmers.
