An essential ingredient in Middle Eastern Cuisine, Harissa is also a small village in the Lebanese Mountains, approximately 30 miles northeast of Beirut. Whilst many varieties exist, (Tunisian Harissa generally contains Cumin, whilst the Cypriot version often uses Garlic), ours is the classic Moroccan Harissa. A hot pepper paste simply blended with olive oil and salt, Harissa can be used to flavor everything from couscous to salads and brochettes. Decidedly spicy, yet wonderfully flavorful, use sparingly on grilled meats or in sauces and broths.
