This homemade roasted red pepper harissa is a vibrant, smoky condiment that brings a punch of North African flavour to your kitchen. By toasting whole spices like caraway and cumin before grinding, you unlock a depth of aroma that shop-bought versions simply cannot match. The addition of jarred roasted peppers provides a silky texture and a mellow sweetness, balancing the heat from the fresh red chilli.
As a versatile vegan staple, this sauce is excellent for stirring into stews, dressing roasted vegetables, or using as a bold marinade for tofu and plant-based proteins. It is a brilliant make-ahead option, as the spicy, savoury notes intensify after a night in the fridge. Serve it alongside warm flatbreads for an effortlessly impressive appetiser.
