Yes Anita... I find it here in the Arabic Supermarket... can you tell me about some uses with the Harissa? Thanks...

Hi to everyone! berry has asked me for other uses of harissa - I gave a recipe for those who cannot find it, but it is true, it can be purchased already prepared. In North Africa, plates with olive oil and harissa are put out along with plates of olives and whatever raw veggies happen to be in season - you dip bread and veggies (fennel bulb is my personal fave!) Harissa is added to couscous it can be used in marinades - and here in Tunisia, it comes on sandwiches - lovely tuna and olive and lettuce tomato sandwiches! mmmm! Sahha!
