HARISSA POWDER



Harissa Powder image

Harissa powder is the ground spice blend of the spicy, earthy North African paste with a base of smoked chili peppers. It can be used as a dry rub on meats or as a spice in place of any other spice blend in your favorite recipe, such as tacos, tagines, braised meats, curries, or even tofu. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month, or until the expiration date of any of the single ingredients, if earlier.

2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
½ teaspoon multi-colored whole peppercorns
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
