It is an awesome afternoon for a BBQ and I am in the mood for something a bit spicy. In the meantime I have some capsicum, sweet potato and veggie and meat patties on the grill. This Fiery Harissa Paste is the ultimate spicy sauce or condiment to go with almost anything.
While the BBQ is getting started I grab some great fresh ingredients and the Eclispe Organics Harissa Spice Mix.
I love the freshness and fiery spice of this amazing Fiery Harissa Paste. The Awesome thing is that it was really simple to make and you can keep what you do not use in a container for another day.
This condiment is a new staple of mine. I make a batch and take it to work and the whole Eclipse Crew add it to wraps, onto pasta, mixed with roasted vegetables.
This is one of those truly versatile condiments that makes everything taste better.
