harissa

A vibrant, spicy, and aromatic chili paste originating from the Maghreb region of North Africa. It is traditionally composed of roasted red peppers, Baklouti chilies, garlic, caraway, coriander, and cumin, pounded into a paste with olive oil to create an intensely flavorful, earthy condiment. **Selection & Storage:** High-quality harissa comes in tubes or jars. Once opened, top the paste with a thin layer of olive oil to seal out air, and keep refrigerated.
