Description
Green Harissa Sauce- a burst of North African flavor for buddha bowls, wraps, tacos, roasted veggies or whatever else you can think of! Vegan Adaptable! Gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (packed) Italian parsley or cilantro ( a combination is nice)
- 1–2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 to 1 whole jalapeño, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, more to taste
- 1 teaspoon coriander (or cumin)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1 cup plain yogurt (or silken tofu, or sour cream- see notes )
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except yogurt in a food processor. Pulse repeatedly until finely chopped. Add yogurt, pulse again until combined, but not too smooth. Taste, adjust salt and heat.
- You can also blend all ingredients in a blender but note that yogurt will get a little runny. It will firm up some in the fridge. It still tastes good, but with a thinner consistency.
- You can swap out sour cream or silken tofu for the yogurt.
- If making the vegan version with silken tofu- blend it in a blender and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, increase the salt to taste and add squeeze of lemon or lime or splash of apple cider vinegar.
Notes
This will keep a week in the fridge.

Great recipe!It’s definitely a favorite in our regular rotation.
thanks Tom!
Just finished making and consuming this fantastic combination. Be sure to make the Green Harissa, as it will definitely turn up the flavor magic. Made the Vegetarian version, looking forward to making again! (and again…).
