This beautiful Rose Harissa has a slow-burning chilli heat, balanced with sweet smokiness that adds real depth of flavour to any dish. The name Harissa comes from the Arabic harasa, meaning ‘to pound’ or ‘break into pieces'. It is not far from a straight translation of the Italian pestare, to 'pound' or 'crush' - which is where we get the word 'pesto' from. 170g  

Widely used and beloved throughout the Middle East, Harissa is a North African spice and condiment that is particularly popular in Tunisia for vegetables, meat, eggs and breads. Ours has a mild-medium heat tempered by sweet rose petals sourced from a women’s co-op in Morocco. Often found as an easy to make paste, our aromatic and addictive rose harissa blend also shines as a dry rub. It brings savory, spicy, complex flavors to any dish. Contains a small amount of sea salt.
