Advice

Harissa is a spicy Tunisian condiment that is made from a blend of chili peppers, garlic, caraway, coriander, and other spices. To make a flavorful harissa, start by toasting your spices in a dry pan until fragrant. Then, add the toasted spices to a food processor with chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Blend until a paste forms, then adjust the seasoning to taste. Allow the harissa to cool before serving. For an extra depth of flavor, try adding smoked paprika, cumin, or lemon juice to your harissa.
