A Simple Harissa image

Found in "The BBQ Bible" and I am posting it for North Africa ZWT 6, so untried by me. Here is a quick, simple version of harissa. Serve it alongside grilled lamb or kebabs.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large ripe tomatoes
1 small onion, peeled (or 2 shallots)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon hot paprika (or 1 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes in half and gently wring out the seeds and liquid over the sink. Grate each tomato half on the coarse side of a grater into a bowl by holding the cut side of the tomato half against the grater and grating the flesh just to the skin. Discard the skin. Grate the onion into the bowl. Stir in the parsley, paprika, oil, and lemon juice, salt and black pepper to taste; the mixture should be highly seasoned. Serve immediately, or no longer than 4 hours after making, at room temperature.
  • Note: Fora milder harissa, omit the hot paprika or cayenne pepper.
