Recipe Notes
Harissa has the fantastic aromatic North African flavors followed by heat. The spiciness of harissa is not overwhelming – just enough to evoke the feeling of the exotic. Choose your harissa carefully, as some are labeled “mild” and some “spicy.” Find a brand and spice level you like and stick with it.
