This is the North African chilli paste.Harissa has a complex flavour and contains a host of different spices. Some, such as Belazu’s version, even contain rose petals (I challenge you to detect their flavour, though). I like one where I can really taste the caraway. Little bowls of harissa – slightly diluted with broth - are served with couscous (couscous the dish, not just the grain). Each diner can then add as much or as little of it as he or she likes to bowls of braised lamb and vegetables. I use harissa in marinades, dressings for North African inspired salads and to stir into braises and casseroles. Le Phare du Cap Bon is my favourite brand, purely for the beauty of the packaging. It cheers me up every time I see it.
