Harissa powder 50g Spice Blend
The Smoky, Fiery Soul of North African Cooking
Ignite your senses with the authentic taste of North Africa. Our Harissa is a robust and aromatic blend inspired by the traditional condiments of Tunisia and Morocco. It features smoked red chilies for a deep, fiery heat, balanced by the earthy warmth of cumin, the sharpness of garlic, and the distinct, liquorice-like note of caraway seeds.
This is more than just a chili powder; it's a complex paste-in-powder-form that delivers layers of smoky, spicy, and savoury flavour. Whether you're building a slow-cooked tagine or whipping up a quick weeknight meal, this blend is your passport to creating deeply flavourful and exciting dishes with authentic character.
