Spice Up Your Supper with Olives Et Al Chilli Harissa

Spice Up Your Supper with Olives Et Al Chilli Harissa

UK-based and family-run, Olives Et Al have been delighting our taste buds since the early 1990’s with their delicious mix of Mediterranean-inspired snacks, oils, dressings and sauces. Chilli Harissa is the latest pot of goodness to be added to the OEA foodie stable and although it may be small, it packs a fiery punch.



Designed to be something of a multi-tasker, the Harissa has a whopping 32% red chilli pepper content, so it is not for the faint of heart. That said, with a wonderful mix of aromatic ingredients, including smoked paprika, ginger, cumin, fennel and an unmissable hit of garlic added to the blend, there is more than heat to this flavoursome sauce and its applications are practically endless. One of my favourite uses was to enliven roast vegetable pasta with a little chilli kick, but there’s a fab chicken breast – or in my case, Quorn fillet – recipe on the Olives Et Al website. The Harissa will add interest to any soup or sauce and can be used within a marinade, not to mention providing a fantastic base for chillies and curries. Versatility is certainly the word.

Olives Et Al’s Chilli Harissa is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and is gluten free.

Olives Et Al’s Chilli Harissa is £4.00 per 180g jar and is available from all good food retailers, as well as online at www.olivesetal.co.uk.
