Harissa, the spice mixture from the Arab world, is an all-rounder for any dish that can tolerate a little fire. Harissa can be found in the Orient from mild to extremely hot.

Harissa gives a taste kick with tomato soups, stews and oriental rice dishes. Harissa can be easily and quickly stirred into a ready-to-eat paste. Simply pour in a little hot water, let cool briefly & refine with olive oil. Haya's tip: Mix oven pumpkin with harissa paste and puree.  A wonderful spread for bread or pita in winter!

Mix your own Harissa paste at home. For this, you need to mix harissa with water and cover with oil.
