📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Harissa, a chili paste from Tunisia in North Africa built on chili, cumin, and coriander, carries its own layered spice profile in a single spoonful. Stirred into a classic tomato sauce, it adds more than heat — cumin's earthiness and coriander's brightness transform the flavor into something far more complex. A simple yet deep creation where the ingredients of North Africa and Italy meet naturally across the Mediterranean.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A Roru original experiment designed around how dramatically one seasoning can transform a sauce.
