I found the original recipe for this at a spice retailer's website, but I changed it a bit to suit my own taste. YUM! This is good for soups, stews, or combined with olive oil and lemons to coat a chicken (under the skin) before roasting.

Harissa Powder image

Harissa powder is the ground spice blend of the spicy, earthy North African paste with a base of smoked chili peppers. It can be used as a dry rub on meats or as a spice in place of any other spice blend in your favorite recipe, such as tacos, tagines, braised meats, curries, or even tofu. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month, or until the expiration date of any of the single ingredients, if earlier.
