Ajika Harissa Spice Blend - Hot Chili Seasoning from Africa

Al Kabsa or Al Kabsah is a classic Arabian spice mixture used in an ancient Saudi Arabian dish of chicken and rice dish which is fragrant and lightly spiced. The nomadic Bedouin tribes traded with India and were hooked on delicious and fragrant Indian rice dishes eventually converting this into their own way of cooking. You can imagine this dish cooked under the open skies and served in the tents pitched in the desert. Nomadic tribes could use only transportable foods such as rice and dates and nomadic livestock such as sheep and camels in their recipes. As the caravans journeyed throughout the Middle East, new seasonings and vegetables were discovered and added to the existing repertoire. Each new discovery was incorporated into their diets in quantities palatable to a particular tribe - a fact that many cooks believe is responsible for the anomalies found in some Arabic dishes today. This aromatic, warm spice blend with a hint of sweetness and robust tartness is delicious with salads, sprinkled on roasted vegetables, fish and meat.
