    HFG tip

    • Harissa is a Moroccan-style chilli paste. You can find it in delis or Middle Eastern specialty stores.
    • Or make your own: Blend or crush dried chilli flakes, sliced garlic and cumin together with a little no-added-salt tomato paste and olive oil. Vary the amounts of these ingredients to suit your own taste.
