Harissa is a hot chili paste that is commonly found in North African
cooking, mainly Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian cuisine. It is added to
couscous, soups, pastas and other recipes. It can also be purchased in
Middle Eastern stores in a can.

For a very spicy harissa: use a blend of cayenne, chile de arbol, or
cayenne with a milder chile like ancho chilies

For a medium spiciness: use a blend of New Mexico chilies with guajillo
chilies.
