Boat Harissa


I created this recipe during an unforgettable cruise around Ibiza.
You can make it in advance and store in an airtight jar for weeks.
The quantities of each ingredient vary according to your taste.

It can be served as a dressing for boiled rice, Potatoes or even pasta.

Salsa Harissa:
  • 1 cup of strong olive oil
  • 5-8 stoned black olives, chopped up finely.
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • tsp ground cumin seeds
  • tsp hot chili flakes
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Pound all of the ingredients in a mortar until smooth.

Serving suggestion:
Rice Salad with Harissa.
Boil 2 cups of rice until tender. Drain and pour into a bowl, let it cool down.
Mix in some chopped tomatoes, a drained can of tuna and 3-4 tablespoons of harissa sauce. Serve as a side dish.
