We've been experimenting with more and more Mediterranean cooking, and as such started gathering some of the more common spices called for. We like this one so much that we've begun using it on day to day dishes as an accent. It has a bit of a hot kick to it, but still has lots of flavor too. This has become a staple in our pantry.
I don't normally buy spice blends. I make my own. But this is great stuff. I wouldn't have put this combination together myself and it gives a new depth to foods that I love. Very earthy and a nice, even heat. Salt is the last ingredient in the list, not the first and I like that.
Since writing the review below, I've tried several different Harissa powders and pastes. Some were way too spicy, and some not enough. This is by far my favorite. It's the only one I'll be using from now on.

I had not used Harissa seasoning before, but had a couple of recipes that called for it. I turned 2 tablespoons into a paste by adding a little water and olive oil, and mixed it with yogurt and covered chicken pieces with it for about 6 hours. I baked the chicken, and it turned out fabulous! I will be using Harissa a lot more, I assure you. Can't wait to try it sprinkled on fish.
I love Ethiopian cuisine, but never try to cook it. I was looking for different spice blends, without a ton of salt, and def. no msg.
I really like this. It’s probably not a clone of traditional Harissa spices in Eth. cuisine, but it’s darn tasty, and not full of garbage. Was “interesting “ in eggs. I’d have liked it more in a savory omelet, probably. Would be amazing in rice dishes, etc;)
When you eat whole food plant based, spices are just as important as the food. I've heard frontier is the best. They seem to have a heads up on most of the other spices and it is so nice that I can get this on Amazon. Just a few clicks and my order was done.
This Harissa is a mix of all organic paprika, caraway, crushed red chili peppers, cayenne, coriander, cumin, garlic and peppermint and sea salt. For the life of me I wonder why this needs sea salt but 30mgs doesn't seem like much to worry about. It will last me awhile.

The best
Very good spice for anything
It has all the ingredients needed to make the paste of Harrisa I use it instead of hot paprika sometimes Excellent for burgers if you like a little Spicy Hot in your meat
I like to cook and like to explore recipes from around the world. This is a truly unique flavor. I especially like it on fried eggs (i discovered w/ science)
we are cooking healthy and found a recipe for roasting cauliflower that called for Harissa and Cumin. The recipe linked to a bottle of Harissa for nearly $10. I did a little comparison: Frontier's label listed the same exact ingredients, and was organic, same amount. It's got a nice little kick of heat, set off nicely with the cumin. We will use the recipe and the combination of spices again.
I just wanted to give it 5 stars and be done with the review, but they require a description on Amazon...so I'll post my mom's secret chocolate chip cookie recipe here instead (not so secret anymore, is it, Mom!?):
4 cubes butter, softened
2 heaping cups dark brown sugar (packed, then heap that shiz)
½ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
3 eggs
6 cups flour
1 bag chocolate chips (semi-sweet or sweet)
Mix BY HAND all ingredients, except flour and chips (mixing by hand makes them taste better, trust me).
Then add flour and chips and stir BY HAND. Bake @ 350 for 9-11 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Enjoy the preciouses.
Note: makes a buttload of cookies, so you might want to halve the recipe.
I've been seeing this spice a lot on food network, and wanted to try it with grilling. It has a divine chili/cumin/mint aroma and reconstitutes easily with water. I liked finding it in a powder so I can use it dry when I want. It was sealed well and the jar is glass so thats a plus.
