HARISSA GRILLED CHICKEN

  What is harissa? Harissa is a spicy chili condiment native to North Africa. It’s made from dehydrated chiles that have been reconstituted and blended with olive oil, herbs, and spices.

They mostly cook into the rice leaving small pieces, rather than large chunks in the rice which I prefer. The tomatoes will add a bit of sweetness to balance out the heat of the chili.  Spicy chilies : The rice is traditionally on the spicy side of things. I use habanero pepper for its unique fruity fla...
