Les Moulins Mahjoub Tunisian Traditional Harissa

Sun-dried chilies, aromatic spices and extra virgin olive oil—with a smoky kick.

Les Moulins Mahjoub Tunisian Traditional Harissa is a chili paste made from sun-dried chili peppers ground with dried garlic, caraway, salt, coriander and extra virgin olive oil. This traditional Tunisian condiment brings smoky heat and savory spice to everything from roasted vegetables and grilled meats to couscous, soups and sauces.

Use it as a condiment or an ingredient: start with a small amount, taste and adjust to suit your dish.

Why we love it

This harissa offers more than heat alone. Garlic, caraway and coriander add aromatic depth to the sun-dried chilies, making it a flavorful starting point for a marinade, dressing or dip. A little stirred into a chickpea stew or served alongside roasted vegetables gives familiar ingredients a different direction.

How to use traditional harissa

Roasted vegetables: Mix a little harissa with extra virgin olive oil, then toss with carrots, cauliflower or potatoes before roasting.

Couscous, soups and stews: Stir into couscous or a pot of vegetable soup, lentils or chickpeas for smoky chili heat and aromatic spice.

Grilled meats and fish: Blend into a marinade, or serve a small spoonful alongside grilled chicken, fish or lamb.

Dips and dressings: Stir into plain yogurt for a creamy, spicy dip. For a dressing, whisk with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, adjusting the proportions to taste.
