The harissa sauce is from Tunisia 🇹🇳. It’s made with a variety of peppers (roasted red pepper and hot chili peppers, to name a few), spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, saffron, rose and caraway, as well as, vegetable or olive oil.
If you wish to tone it down a bit, put 3 tablespoons of harissa with 3 cups of tomato purée and juice from 1 lemon in a blender and purée until smooth. Taste test to adjust seasonings, like more harissa, if desired.
