Harissa is a hot pepper paste. It’s typically made with roasted red chili peppers, Baklouti peppers, or serrano peppers. Spices and herbs are often added such as garlic, caraway, coriander, cumin, mint, and more.

This fiery chicken dish is a delight. Serve this with a dollop of full-fat Greek yogurt to cut some of the heat.
