Harissa Red Pesto

Spicy harissa red pesto is great mixed through pasta or served with grilled fish. It is also delicious served as a dip with vegetable crudités and crackers of choice. If you’re feeling creative, try our homemade seed crackers to accompany your homemade dip… that’s one way to impress your guests (and know exactly what is going into your food).

We love using the pulse function on our blender to retain a slightly chunky texture.
