Harissa, the basic seasoning paste of Tunisia, is served with kebabs and couscous, and appears on the table in a small dish. It is also delicious on crusty bread spread with hummus. It is to be used sparingly as a condiment, and also works as part of a marinade. Harissa is sold ready-made in tubes or small cans; the best comes from Tunisia.
For more ways to work harissa into your diet, get our Wheat Berry Salad with Harissa and Pistachios recipe, our Spicy Carrot Hummus recipe, and our Harissa-Pancetta Breakfast Pizza recipe.
