Steenbergs Organic Harissa With Rose

Steenbergs Organic Harissa With Rose is a premium spice blend that uses only natural organic spices. It’s a spicy red hot chilli blend from North Africa, to which we have added the flamboyant twist of organic rose petals.

Steenbergs Organic Harissa Powder was one of our early blends. In 2015, Axel decided to add rose to the mix,  so the whole recipe needed rebalancing. We ended out with two versions rather than one, both of which are amazing.

At Steenbergs, we have created a more complex harissa than Steenbergs’ standard organic harissa – Steenbergs Organic Harissa with Rose is our interpretation of this North African blend from Tunisia.

Steenbergs Organic Harissa With Rose is a hot blend of organic crushed chillies together with organic caraway, organic coriander and organic cumin. To this, Steenbergs has added that heady Arabic aroma of organic Damask rose buds.

Place organic harissa with rose on the table to add heat to any meal, or rub it onto chicken as a marinade, or sprinkle on yoghurt served alongside baba ghanoush with some pitta bread – delicious. One of the most delicious ways we’ve eaten it is in yoghurt on top of black chickpea hummus with a side of Persian flatbreads – totally fabulous.
