This is delicious!!

Take the time and effort to make this Harissa over other recipes.  The Urfa Biber is what makes this spectacular.  

 I’ve already made Shakshuka and also used it by simply blending it with softened butter and stuffing in under and over the skin of a whole well seasoned chicken.
