This North African chile paste is incorporated into almost every meal in certain parts of the world, and you&#8217;ll want to do the same once you try its nuanced, complex flavors. So stop using spice substitutes like berbere or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/substitute-for-sriracha\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/substitute-for-sriracha\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Sriracha<\/a> when you see harissa in a recipe. It&#8217;s easy to learn how to make harissa from a handful of simple ingredients you probably already have in the pantry.<\/p>\n<h2>What is harissa?<\/h2>\n<p>Harissa is a thick chile paste that originated in Tunisia. Recipes vary, but the paste usually contains dried chiles, garlic, oil and warming spices like cumin, coriander and paprika. It&#8217;s often called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-ultimate-guide-to-hot-sauces-and-how-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-ultimate-guide-to-hot-sauces-and-how-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hot sauce<\/a>, and some harissa varieties can be quite spicy. However, harissa is more about flavor than spice. It has depth and complexity, balancing the chiles&#8217; heat with sweet, spicy, tangy, smoky undertones.<\/p>\n<p>Harissa is so ubiquitous in North African and Middle Eastern cuisine that it&#8217;s been compared to ketchup&#8217;s use in America (although that comparison does an injustice to harissa&#8217;s nuanced flavors). It&#8217;s one of those sauces capable of enhancing almost any savory dish, from traditional soups and stews to eggs and burgers.<\/p>\n<h2>What is harissa paste made of?<\/h2>\n<p>Our harissa recipe includes dried guajillo chiles, roasted sweet peppers, tomato paste, garlic, warming spices, lemon juice and olive oil. We use mild chiles to keep the heat low and accentuate the other flavors in this nuanced sauce. The lemon juice brings brightness and vibrance, and tomato paste adds complexity with its savory, umami-rich flavor.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Harissa<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dried chiles:<\/strong> The type of chile used will determine the harissa&#8217;s spice level. We like guajillo chiles, Mexican chiles with mild heat and a slightly sweet, almost fruity character. For a smokier flavor, use chipotle chiles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roasted sweet peppers:<\/strong> Bell peppers give the paste a sweet undertone. You can use a 16-ounce jar of roasted peppers. Just make sure to drain it well to avoid watering down the paste. If you decide to roast red bell peppers at home, remove the skins and seeds after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-roast-peppers-and-why-you-should\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-roast-peppers-and-why-you-should\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roasting the peppers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic: <\/strong>Garlic adds a pungent flavor and aroma. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic based on your preferences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spices:<\/strong> Warming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mediterranean-diet-herbs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mediterranean-diet-herbs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Mediterranean spices<\/a> round out the paste&#8217;s complex character. The cumin, coriander and paprika lend smoky vibes, and cayenne pepper contributes some heat. Some harissa recipes also include caraway seeds, which add a hint of licorice flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extra virgin olive oil: <\/strong>Olive oil can be fruity, buttery or grassy, depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">olive oil brands<\/a>.

Store it in a jar with a tightly fitted lid in the refrigerator, where it&#8217;s good for up to two weeks. Before sealing the jar, top the paste with a thin layer of additional olive oil. You can stir the oil in if you plan to use the harissa all at once. If not, leave the layer on top to preserve the harissa.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use Harissa<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use it as a condiment:<\/strong> Harissa can be used like hot sauce.

To create a simple dipping sauce for pita bread, stir harissa into olive oil or hummus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where to Buy Harissa<\/h2>\n<p>Once upon a time, you could only find harissa at specialty food stores. Today, you can find jarred or canned harissa from several online retailers. It&#8217;s also available at most grocery stores, including Trader Joe&#8217;s. Look for it in the international aisle.<\/p>\n<h2>Harissa Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1983106 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Harissa_FT24_275913_ST_0403_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Harissa\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the difference between harissa paste and harissa powder?<\/h3>\n<p>Harissa paste and harissa powder have similar flavor profiles and are generally interchangeable. The powder contains a blend of chile powder and spices, and the paste also includes wet ingredients like lemon juice and olive oil to create a thick consistency. In our experience, harissa paste tastes fresher and more complex than harissa powder.<\/p>\n<h3>What chiles do you use to make harissa?<\/h3>\n<p>We use guajillo chiles to make our harissa, but you can use any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guide-to-peppers-from-sweet-to-spicy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guide-to-peppers-from-sweet-to-spicy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of chile pepper<\/a>. The chiles determine the harissa&#8217;s spice level. Guajillo, chipotle, Kashmiri or New Mexico chiles are great choices for creating a mild harissa. To make it spicier, use a blend of chiles with a few arbol or Thai chiles to kick up the heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen this North African ingredient in recipes for hummus, seafood, sauces and more.
