Located in: From the Garden, Vegetables

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.

Comments about Harissa:

This is a fabulous sauce for use in cooking or as a condiment right out of the jar. We tried it cooked in a lamb recipe, and also as a condiment on lamb and ham. It was yummy each way. It's very spicy and salty, but only slightly hot. It peps up food without scorching your mouth, and adds an exotic flavor that you associate with Morocco or the Middle East. Love it!

Lots of heat, loved it!
