Harisa/Harissa

Harisa
This personal favorite has replaced salsa and ketchup. It flavors rices, pasta sauces, even substitutes for mayonnaise on a sandwich. Try mixing a dash with your favorite mustard for an extra zing.

To start this review, I should state that I believe in following any recipe as written, the first time you make it, to attain the intended result. In preparing this recipe, I did not deviate. This recipe is flexible on the type of chili you may choose. Since our eight-year-old does not care for anything above moderately spicy, I selected a mild chili – the Ancho.

Tonight, I made chicken tacos, and I use this term loosely, adding the Harisa for flavor. Harisa should be added directly to the dish rather than offering as an optional side dish. Our once ordinary chicken tacos were ‘leveled up’ [snap!] just like that. However, on its own, I found the Harisa recipe to be lackluster. My family of three (ages, 43, 42, 8) enjoyed this dish. They said I could make it again (HA!)

Ratio Used:
2 Chicken Breast, gently pulsed in the food processor (not puree)
1-2 TB of Harisa recipe as written
