I've got some ready made harissa paste, but it's extremely fiery. I need to 'cool' it down a bit. (I'll never forget my son's deafening screams last time I served it my neighbour even asked me what happened )

Could I mix it with tomato paste and oil to make it a little more child friendly ?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh you’re poor son

I suggest you mix the Harissa with either Olive oil or tomato puree.

I do find Algerian Harissa a whole heap hotter than Moroccan Harrisa.

Take care,

Ma Salama

Just a question, why do you want your son to eat harissa? I mean the commercial one.

He's better off without it I would think.

I must admit, this commercial one I use is a bit suspect.

I will try the home made one.

I meant that hot (as in spicy) food isn't good for the stomach that's why I wouldn't encourage children to have things like harissa especially if they alert the neighbours too
