Belazu Chilli Harissa Pesto (165g)

The Belazu Chilli Harissa Pesto is a unique fusion of Mediterranean flavours, combining the richness of sun-dried tomatoes with the gentle heat of Belazu’s signature Rose Harissa Paste. This pesto offers a balanced profile of deep flavour and subtle spice, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy bold yet nuanced taste experiences. With a carefully crafted mix of Mediterranean sun-dried tomatoes, rose harissa, and semi-dried tomatoes, this pesto brings an exotic twist to a classic favourite.

The base of this pesto is made from rehydrated Mediterranean sun-dried tomatoes, which provide a rich, tangy foundation. These tomatoes are combined with vegetable oils for a smooth texture, while the rose harissa adds layers of spice and a hint of floral complexity. The inclusion of semi-dried tomatoes gives the pesto a unique texture and depth, creating a product that’s both robust and versatile. This pesto is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of spice and warmth to their meals without overwhelming the palate.

One of the most popular uses for the Chilli Harissa Pesto is as a pasta sauce. Simply toss it with freshly cooked pasta and top with grated Parmesan for a quick and flavourful meal. The sun-dried tomatoes and harissa blend together to create a sauce that’s rich, aromatic, and satisfying. For a more substantial dish, add grilled vegetables or roasted chicken to the pasta, creating a complete meal that’s both nourishing and full of Mediterranean flavour.

This pesto also works wonderfully as a spread. Spread it on crusty bread or a toasted baguette for a delicious appetiser, or use it as a topping for homemade pizza. The subtle heat of the harissa pairs well with cheeses like mozzarella and goat cheese, creating a unique flavour profile that’s both spicy and creamy. For a gourmet twist, try spreading it on a sandwich with roasted vegetables, adding an unexpected kick that elevates the whole dish.

Belazu’s Chilli Harissa Pesto is also perfect for marinating meats. Use it to coat chicken breasts, lamb, or pork before grilling or roasting. The paste’s tangy tomato base and gentle harissa heat enhance the natural flavours of the meat, while the rose harissa adds a subtle floral note. Marinating meat with this pesto before cooking ensures a juicy, flavour-packed result that’s ideal for summer barbecues or family dinners.

For a vegetarian option, mix the Chilli Harissa Pesto with roasted vegetables or stir it into grain bowls for added spice and depth. Its robust flavour pairs particularly well with grains like quinoa, farro, or couscous, adding a Mediterranean twist to plant-based dishes. Combine it with Belazu’s Preserved Lemons for a fresh, zesty contrast that brightens up any meal.
