Mild Harissa Red Pepper Sauce - 10 oz

Use it straight from the jar on your favorite foods or cook with it as an ingredient. Harissa elevates everything from tagine and couscous to meats, seafood, eggs, pastas and soups. Our shoppers cook with it in roasted carrots, chicken, sausage and peppers, and stuffed peppers. Stir a spoonful into another sauce for extra depth; a little goes a long way.

We also love it as a dip or a sandwich spread. Try it on toast under sardines or avocado. If some at your table like it hotter, keep a jar of our original spicy Harissa alongside so everyone can choose their heat.

At Mina, harissa was the very first product we made, and it is still a best-seller today. Our story began in 1950s Casablanca, where Mina, the matriarch our company is named for, created her very first fiery harissa. She honed her craft in Paris, then moved to New York and built a loyal following for her Moroccan catering. Today our family carries on her work, bringing the beauty and abundance of Moroccan food to tables everywhere.

Ingredients: red bell pepper, red chili pepper, garlic extra virgin olive oil, cider vinegar, salt, citric acid.
