These recipes, all contain Harissa as a major wild food ingredient.

Harissa is a hot red chilli-based sauce popular in North Africa which originally derives from Tunisia. It is made from smoked chilli peppers and garlic though coriander, cumin, caraway and olive oil are frequently added. Tomatoes may also be an ingredient in its construction. Harissa is used both as a condiment and as an ingredient.

It has been described as the most important item in Tunisian cuisine, and can be found in other cuisines of North Africa, such as those of Morocco and Algeria.
