HARISSA CHILLI PASTES manufactured in 2.2 kg tubs

Christopher Columbus changed the course of our culinary history forever when he discovered the Americas and the glorious chilli!!! Now, chillies are used to enhance bland food, disguise the sometimes questionable, and challenge the taste buds of mankind.

       

JALAPENO HARISSA
Harissa is usually made from minced red chillies, but by using Jalapenos we have created a uniquely flavoured chilli paste. Jalapenos are fantastic chillies to go with seafood, chicken and of course, any Mexican dish.

NUCLEAR HARISSA
This Harissa is for our die hard chilli fans. Please treat this with the utmost respect and the caution it deserves, and use it only very sparingly. 


TRADITIONAL HARISSA
This is a great Harissa to use for flavouring Moroccan or Middle Eastern recipes, but can also be used wherever your recipe calls for chopped or minced chillies.

WARNING: Hot to INTENSELY HOT chillies and chilli oils are used in the manufacture of Sticky Fingers Harissa. Use sparingly in the first instance, and do NOT allow contact with eyes, nose or other sensitive body parts.
