For busy cooks looking to add smoky heat and serious flavour to quick, easy meals, Lamiri Harissa is a traditional Tunisian chilli paste made using a family recipe passed down through generations. Imported directly from La Marsa, Tunisia, it’s a brilliant pantry shortcut for sauces, marinades, stews and simple midweek dinners.
Made with Baklouti chilli peppers sourced from local farmers and traditionally dried in wood-burning ovens, the harissa has a distinctive rich, smoky character. Extra virgin olive oil, garlic and tabil - a Tunisian blend of coriander and caraway - add warm, earthy depth without overwhelming the flavour of your food.
Stir a spoonful into tomato sauce, soups or couscous, spread it over flatbreads or mix with yoghurt, lemon and garlic for an instant marinade. It’s particularly good with lamb, chicken, roasted vegetables and fish - one jar, plenty of ways to rescue dinner.
