What makes Ooochie Mama unique is the use of Baklouti peppers, sun-dried in Tunisia according to the Chemsi method. The drying process gives the peppers a smooth and distinctive flavor. That's not all. Ooochie Mama pays special attention to the other ingredients in the recipe: our homemade Tabel spice blend is crafted with great care for aromatic complexity, the addition of olive oil brings depth, and a dash of freshly squeezed lemon makes the finish mouthwatering. Finally, authentic harissa is not just about flavors, it's about texture. Ooochie Mama is ground with a meat grinder with large holes to achieve a firm and thick texture.
