Harissa is a hot chili paste that is commonly found in North African cooking, like Moroccan and Tunisian cuisine. Most blends I’ve found consist of various chilies, garlic, salt, olive oil, coriander, caraway and cumin. Some added mint, others lemon also.

This paste is added to sandwiches like a spread, mixed in soups and dressings and used to flavor fish, chicken and seafood.

Keep this paste topped with oil so it doesn’t dry out.

Cindy's Recipes and Writings

As a professional cook, I love creating exciting new recipes on the job as well as at home. Assisting in teaching low-income families how to buy, store and prepare healthy food through Penn State’s alliance with Pennsylvania’s Supercupboard Program was very rewarding. During my 11 years with the Master Gardener program, I taught horticultural therapy to assisted living patients using healthful, fr
esh grown food as a focal point. . My hands-on programs and instruction helped hundreds of children and adults learn about where their food comes from and how important fresh food is for your body.
Currently I’m a cook at a college in Pennsylvania. We prepare everything we can from scratch, including our potato chips that tout the seasoning of the day!
Of course I write about food; it's in my blood!
