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.

This is a popular Tunisian condiment. It's a home made pepper paste that is sure to add an extra kick to just about anything and it is widely use in Tunisian cuisine. I add it to anything I want to spice up; in my home we use this just about everyday.
