Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste, the main ingredients of which are roasted red peppers, peppers, peppers and chilis.
Harissa is becoming easier to find in stores but it is also quite easy, and delicious, to make at home. There are quite a few variations on it, this one means you don’t have to run around hunting down various chillies that aren’t often easy to find in New Zealand. I love it on eggs and in soups for a bit of a kick or anywhere that you might want a little hot sauce.
