Harissa

Make this spiced and savory take on the French classic as a dinner party side dish or weeknight vegetarian main.

Saucy and glossy. Sweet, spicy, and sticky. Shatteringly crisp. And probably more exciting than the halftime show.

Saucy, spicy baked eggs you can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Pantry MVPs—canned chickpeas, mixed giardiniera, and pickled cherry peppers—mix and mingle with the freezer VIP—frozen spinach—for a satisfyingly spicy weeknight dish.

Did someone say weeknight meatballs? Juicy pork meatballs, nestled in a fiery, creamy harissa-coconut sauce, are ready in under an hour.

Faster! Faster! Skip the pickling and just top the curry with sliced fresh Fresno chiles. Or leave them out altogether if you’re spice-averse.

Heart-healthy coconut oil adds delightfully nutty, aromatic flavor to this creamy, sweet soup. If you can't find harissa to garnish with, drizzle it with hot sauce or sprinkle with a pinch of chili flakes instead.

Compound butter is a great way to get flavor into a roast chicken. Here's a North African-inspired version
