Author Notes
Harissa and I first met over a Moroccan Tagine. Immediately hooked, I started making my own harissa variations at home and although I usually start out by soaking dried chilies, I often can't find dried chilies when I travel to see friends. This version starts with canned chipotle chilies, a product I have better luck finding outside the bigger cities. Use this delicious sauce alongside anything from scrambled eggs to grilled vegetables and burgers. It's amazing with grilled sweet corn. —MissGinsu
