Recipes often call for Harissa paste, a delicious condiment that can be made from scratch with whole spices, chiles and a few additional ingredients.
It's also super easy to transform our Harissa Powder into a paste by adding tomato paste, olive oil and lemon juice. Keep a little jar of Harissa Paste in your fridge for daubing on eggs, stirring into a grain bowl or spicing up a sauce for pasta.
