The Harissa is a spicy and raised paste from Tunisia and certain Maghreb countries. It is made from grilled red peppers, strong peppers, garlic, cumin, coriander and other spices. It is often used as a condiment to add flavor and heat to meat, vegetable and fish dishes. The Harissa is also popular as a basic ingredient in many Maghreb cuisine recipes, such as tagines and couscous. It can be used to marinate the meat before cooking, or simply to add a little spice to the dishes.
