Trader Joe’s roasted cauliflower and cheese raviolis with creamy harissa sauce and mini pepper slices, so flavorful and easy!
It’s quite obvious that I’m a huge fan of harissa. A little bit of adds so much flavor to anything that you cook it with. This is why I love adding it to sauces. I have a few other delicious harissa recipes on my blog! They always seem to be a hit.
What is Harissa?
Harissa is a spicy and aromatic chile paste thatās a used a lot in North African and Middle Eastern cooking. Harissa recipes depend on the country but typically include a mixture of smoked hot Chile peppers, oil, garlic and spices like cumin and coriander. Itās pretty spicy so a little bit goes a long way!
I get my harissa paste at Trader Joeās and I love it. You can find it in most grocery stores or even buy it on Amazon. Just keep in mind, some are mild and spicy. I find the Trader Joe’s one pretty mild. Harissa and coconut cream/milk is a great combination. The creamy coconut and the flavorful harissa just compliment each other so nicely. Which is why the two main ingredients in this sauce is coconut cream (I also find this at Trader Joeās) and harissa paste. I also add some tomato paste as well.
