Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili sauce whose main ingredients are birdseye (type of chili pepper), serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander, red chili powder, caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil. It is most closely associated with Tunisia, Libya and Algeria but recently also making inroads into Morocco according to Moroccan food expert Paula Wolfert. Though Tunisia is the biggest exporter of pre-made harissa, it can also be found in countries with strong Arab presence such as France or Germany. In Israel harissa is a common topping for falafel.
