Harissa
North African condiment
Harissa is a North African chili paste made from hot peppers, garlic, olive oil, and spices like cumin and coriander.
It ranges from mildly warm to fiercely hot depending on the peppers used.
Harissa appears as a condiment, marinade, or cooking ingredient: I stirred some harissa into the soup for heat.
The paste is central to Tunisian cuisine and has spread widely in Western cooking.
