Harissa

 
 

It all started when…

Super aromatic hot paste, the more you use the hotter it will be.  

Handmade in Healesville’s Harissa Paste is a vibrant and spicy North African chilli paste made with a blend of roasted red peppers, chilies, garlic, and spices, perfect for adding heat and depth to a variety of dishes.

Marinade for Meats:

Use as a marinade for lamb, chicken, or beef. The harissa paste’s smoky, spicy flavors infuse the meat with a deep, bold taste, especially when grilled or roasted.

Spice Up Vegetables:

Toss vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, or eggplant with harissa before roasting. The paste enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables with heat and complexity.

Dip:

Mix with yogurt, hummus, or sour cream to create a spiced dip for chips, pita bread, or crudités. This creates a cooling yet flavourful accompaniment to snacks or appetizers.

Eggs and Breakfast Dishes:

Add a spoon of harissa to scrambled eggs, shakshuka, or on top of avocado toast to give your breakfast a spicy upgrade.

Stir into Soups and Stews:

Enhance the flavour of soups and stews by stirring in a spoonful of harissa. It pairs especially well with lentil or tomato-based soups, adding warmth and depth.
