Harissa

Submitted by: NORMM1 
Harissa is a traditional accompaniment with Moroccan and North African food. I badgered this out of one of my mates who was a cook in a Sydney restaurant. Use sparingly as it is powerfully HOT. The fresh lift of the mint with ground and fresh coriander really works to bring a sensational taste to all recipes I have used it in. 

Tastira (Tunisian Fried Peppers and Eggs)

Submitted by: Asma Khalfaoui
