Green Harissa

This vibrant green harissa is a fresh, aromatic twist on the traditional North African condiment. Unlike the more common red version made with dried chillies, this vegan paste relies on a punchy blend of fresh jalapeños, flat-leaf parsley, and coriander. Toasted cumin and coriander seeds provide a deep, earthy warmth that balances the citrusy brightness of the lemon juice and quality extra-virgin olive oil.

Exceptionally versatile, this herb-rich paste works beautifully as a marinade for roasted vegetables, a dressing for grain salads, or a piquant dip for crusty bread. It is an excellent staple to keep in the fridge for adding instant depth to midweek meals. Simply store it with a layer of cling film touching the surface to maintain its brilliant emerald colour and fresh flavour.
