Offerte surtout en purée et parfois en poudre, la harissa est utilisée comme assaisonnement au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord. [...] On prépare la harissa à partir de petits piments rouges, de piment de Cayenne, de légumes, d'huile de colza [ou d'olive], d'ail et d'herbes telles la coriandre et la menthe, d'épices dont le carvi, et parfois plus d'une vingtaine d'autres épices. La harissa est très piquante. Elle agrémente les potages, les viandes, les poissons, les ragoûts et le riz.
