Harissa paste is a popular condiment in North Africa, especially Tunisia. We make a powder version of this blend that, when mixed with equal parts hot water and olive oil, creates a great Harissa paste.

Traditionally, Harissa is used on kebabs, salads, vegetables, cooked meats like lamb, beef and chicken, and in stews, soups, couscous, and chickpeas. Try it as a replacement for condiments like mustard if you like your sandwiches hot. You can also make a Yemeni seasoning known as zhug that is similar to harissa by adding ¼ a tsp. each of ground cloves and ground cardamom to 3 Tbsp. of this blend.
