Test Kitchen tips
  • Harissa chili paste is a blend of different types of chilies, garlic, herbs and spices. Fnd it in jars in the spice section of your supermarket.
  • This soup freezes remarkably well for up to 3 months — perfect to have on hand for quick dinners or lunches.
  • Make sure you don't skip toasting the nuts. It really brings out their flavor so a little can go a long way.
