Harissa Paste
I do love a bit of nice spice. And this is no exception. It is a great accompaniment to anything grilled or BBQ-ed, even good slathered over roasted, caramelised eggplant or zuchinni if you are a vego. I do like to use it more as a marinade however, so rub all over some chicken Marylands, keep them in a ziploc bag for a day and when you cook them up, you will find everything just comes together in an organic wholefood way! (hahaha) Go on, enjoy. By the way, it will keep indefinitely in the fridge, nothing is going near it cos it is so darned hot!
