Harissa Spice Blend Mayonnaise
Harissa often includes sun-dried peppers such as cayenne and/or Serrano. It has a deep flavour, with a bit of heat, yet not as sweet as Aleppo Pepper and not as hot as Sriracha. We have the spice blend rather than the paste, which is a staple in Tunisian cooking.
Harissa Spice Blend Mayonnaise
Harissa Paste originated in Tunisia and soon became a staple in North Africa and the Middle East. Oil can be added to the spice blend to form a paste, we find it just as easy to use the dry spice blend as a rub or mixed in a condiment such as mayonnaise or butter.Start adding spices you may not be familiar with lightly and keep adding.We made Harissa Mayonnaise on a hot summer night for French Fries, Lobster Tails, and Clarified Butter! Simple and decadent!
