" Harissa is considered to be the national condiment of Tunisia. One cosmopolitan

friend of mine so craves it that she begs for a 'care package' of it when she

cannot find it in her local supermarket. This quick version is most assuredly

not authentic, but it will do in a pinch if you don't have time to prepare a

batch of the real thing. "
