Harissa is a cross between hot sauce and ketchup. In North Africa and the Middle east it is used as a hot sauce, condiment, marinade and a flavor enhancer.
In Tunisia, Harissa is made with dried peppers that are hydrated with oil. In Morocco Harissa is made from fresh peppers that are cured. Mustaphas Harissa honors the integrity of the recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation.
