Harissa

A sign of the popularity of North African food in France is this hot sauce, which is now prepared and sold in open-air markets and grocery stores throughout the country. In Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria, the recipes vary slightly from village to village. I have seen it used today in salads, in bourride, in rouille, and in soups.

Cooks' Note

A great source for prepared harissa is Pereg Gourmet Spices (pereg-spices.com).
