Harissa Paste - Classic North African Favourite

A bold North African chilli paste for heat, depth & flavour

Harissa is a classic North African hot chilli paste, traditionally used across Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco to add warmth, depth, and complexity to everyday cooking. Made with chilli, tomato, and garlic, this authentic blend of herbs and spices delivers a rich, aromatic heat that builds gently rather than overwhelming the dish.

Bold yet balanced, this harissa paste brings together deep chilli warmth, subtle sweetness from tomato, and a savoury garlic backbone, all lifted by fragrant spices. It’s hot and spicy, but also rounded and versatile — designed to enhance dishes rather than dominate them.

A little goes a long way. Stir a spoonful through couscous, bulgur wheat, or rice to instantly elevate a simple side. Add it to soups, stews, or tagines for depth and warmth, or swirl it through tomato-based sauces for an extra layer of flavour. It also works brilliantly mixed into mayonnaise or yogurt to create a punchy dip for roasted vegetables, flatbreads, or chips.

Harissa is especially good as a marinade. Combine it with honey for a sweet-heat glaze, or mix with yogurt and a splash of olive oil to coat meat, fish, or vegetables. Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cooking to allow the flavours to fully develop.

Equally at home in vegetarian and vegan cooking as it is with meat dishes, this harissa paste is a simple way to add heat, aroma, and character to your cooking — the kind of ingredient you’ll keep reaching for when a dish needs just a bit more.
