Harissa spice mix

Harissa spice mix

Harissa powder has its roots in Tunisia, where it is traditionally prepared as a paste from dried chillies, garlic, caraway, coriander and olive oil. In its powdered version, it offers a practical and just as tasty alternative, ideal for sprinkling directly on grilled meats or roasted vegetables, or for flavouring a Harissa couscous with roasted vegetables or a Harissa & lemon confit chicken tagine. This blend is distinguished by its unique balance between the spiciness of chilli and the warm, aromatic notes of caraway and coriander, giving it a distinctive intensity without masking the other flavours. Unlike ras-el-hanout, which is more floral and complex, or the merguez blend, which is more full-bodied and smoky, harissa remains the symbol of controlled fire, spicy but never overpowering. It's an invitation to revisit the culinary traditions of the Maghreb with boldness and modernity.
