Mar, got the harissa at Rustan’s rockwell, but supplies there are erratic. You may also want to try Santis delicatessen’s which has it on occasion…

malena, yes, many thanks for that clarification. I have never been to Tunisia. And now I know better re: the origins of the chili paste harissa. But I have always associated harissa with North African food, so it is still an appropriate “jumping off” point for a Moroccan meal. On our recent trip to Morocco, harissa was quite prevalent in restaurant food… And in Moroccan cookbooks, harissa is also frequently mentioned…A quick check on a spice reference book I have desk side says, and I quote: “This chili based condiment with a definite kick is widely used in Moroccan, Tunisian and Algerian cooking.” – The New Guide to Spices by Sallie Morris.

I’m sorry Marketman but Harissa is actually Tunisian. I should know, I’m married to a Tunsie. :) Moroccans actually have a white couscous while Tunisians have red couscous precisely because of the Harissa. They eat Harissa with everything here, even with bread. Goodness.
But, lovely spread. :) love the food, the photos.
Ever since I googled alimango and came upon your site so many moons ago. :)
God Bless MM!
