Have you ever seen a recipe that called for “harissa paste” but weren’t sure what it was? I’ve been there.

Easy Homemade Harissa Paste | Minimalist Baker
Back in the day when I was new to cooking I would usually leave it out altogether or substitute a hot sauce I had on hand.
Now I use harissa paste — a North African spicy red sauce — all the time. It’s made with simple ingredients like red chili peppers garlic vinegar and spices and is perfect for adding smokiness and heat to dishes like hummus lentils chili pasta sauce and more.
I usually buy harissa from the store but I recently wanted to make my own so I could control the spiciness. Some can be quite spicy which can make adding less to your meal. I’ll show you how easy it is to make fresh harissa paste at home in just 30 minutes (and adjust the spiciness to your liking)!
