What is Harissa Paste?

Harissa paste is a spicy blend that originates from North Africa. A basic harissa paste is prepared with a blend of hot chilies, a good helping of garlic, and a little acidity such as lemon juice. Many store-bought and online recipes for this spicy paste vary and can include additional spices and seasonings. Harissa paste is a great pantry staple for adding a touch of spice to your sauces, soups, dressings and stews.
