Harissa is sometimes called ‘the tomato sauce of North Africa and the Middle East’. But the tomatoes take a back seat to the blend of red chiles and capsicum which give this sauce its unique flavour.
So, why are we making it here in Aotearoa New Zealand and why do we pair it with our Texas-style barbecued meats? It’s a bright, fresh, spicy sauce that loves to sit alongside a strong ’n’ smoky meat that can stand up to its punchiness. 
 
Break it out at your next Summer BBQ or bang it on your eggy breakfast sandwich — this is a versatile sauce that can be used anytime you want a bit of spice in your life.
