Harissa, The Super-Healthy Hot Sauce To Put On EVERYTHING

Say hi to harissa!

If you’re not already spooning this spicy pepper sauce over everything, maybe this should be the year you start. Harissa’s not only totally crazed with flavor, it also combines several of the most healthful ingredients on the planet — olive oil, chile peppers, and garlic.

Be warned: You will want to spoon this sauce over any foodstuff that is not ice cream or cake!

Splash a little harissa onto cooked veggies, baked fish, stews, grilled chicken, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, and more, more, more!

It’s a staple of Tunisian and Algerian cooking. And these days, you can find prepared harissa in grocery stores. But for the DIYers, here’s a tasty, spicy homemade harissa recipe.

We have to agree with Chef John: “A small spoonful of this makes virtually any savory dish better.”
