From

Use this fat-free Moroccan harissa spice blend to add a burst of flavor to vegetable and bean dishes. This is quite spicy hot, so use it sparingly.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon ground caraway
  • 2 Tablespoons cayenne
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing

Preparation:

Mix the caraway, cayenne, and cumin in a small refrigerator container. Peel the garlic clove and press it through a garlic press into the dry spices. Add the salad dressing and mix well. Store covered in refrigerator.

Very hot! A little harissa goes a long way! Stir in a tiny bit while you cook, or let each person mix a little into their own portion of any vegetable or bean dish. Be sure to caution anyone who is not familiar with harissa.

Yield: about 1/4 cup
