STORYLINE:
LEAD IN :
A harissa festival in Tunisia is attracting interest from around the world thanks to the inclusion of the spicy seasoning on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage in 2022.
Artisan producers have never been busier as the traditional condiment is in demand more than ever.
STORYLINE:
In her home in Nabeul, the largest city in Tunisia’s harissa-producing Cap Bon region, local chef and harissa specialist Chahida Boufayed busies herself with carefully selected ingredients.
It’s a traditional recipe where bright red peppers are combined with garlic, vinegar and spices to create a saucy spread.
The condiment is a national staple and pastime, found in homes, restaurants and food stalls throughout the coastal North African nation.
At Nabeul’s 10th Harissa Festival the bustling crowds make their way to taste the products on Boufayed’s stall.
