harissa 

 

 

We found Casablanca Market harissa- not your typical harissa sauce.  That is because it’s made in Morocco in the most careful way.  Refined and rich, it’s the perfect addition to mild foods such as rice, couscous, pasta, hummus, and quinoa.
 We’ve put Casablanca Market harissa on every dish possible from salads to sandwiches to entrees.  We simply mix it into our salad dressing, ketchup for our fries or with a bit of homemade mayo for an aioli.  We cannot wait to have it on a whole fish.

And, of course, it also transforms tagine dishes, marinades, and sauces, vegetables, pasta, sandwiches, eggs and meats, poultry and seafood.
 
As Katia told us, “it does not alter the dish, it just makes it better.”  North African Katia, is Rabat, Morocco.  She created Casablanca Market ten years ago.  When the tangines became very popular, customers asked for recipes and it then that the food line started.

LemonsCasablanca Market Preserved Lemons are made with Beldi Lemons (the word beldi is applied to things that are made with love and care), an indigenous lemon used to make authentically preserved lemons. They are mildly sweet and fragrant. Our lemons are grown in Taroudant, Southern Morocco.

Casablanca Market’s preserved lemons are just plain wonderful and add flavor to everything from tagines, stews, braises, sauces to vegetables, salads, pasta, sandwiches, meats, poultry, seafood and cocktails, including Bloody Mary’s and dirty martinis.

Katia encourages uses to scrape out the pulp and rinse to remove the excess salt.  The pulp can be used it in seafood, soups and salad dressings.
