Harissa is a spicy, aromatic paste made from chilli and assorted other spices and It’s widely used in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines as a condiment, or mixed with water or tomato juice to flavour stews, soups or meat. You can also purchase Harissa as a dry spice which you can mix with olive oil.
