Harissa comes from the Arabic word Ihares, which means ‘to crush’ (just as pesto in Italian comes from pestare, also meaning ‘to crush’).
Mahjoub's Traditional Harissa is characterized by its grainy consistency and its slightly smoked flavour. Elegantly spicey and of medium strength heat, this Harissa enhances the flavor of any dish, as a condiment, or when used to finish a sauce. Also excellent to use a dip for fresh baked bread.
