  • kosher salt
  • 8 garlic minced, cloves
  • 1 tablespoon harissa seasoning McCormick Gourmet Organic
  • 8 Roma tomato about 2 pounds, cored and diced

  • 5 cups water

Instructions

  1. To a large sauté pan, set over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is warm, add the onions and a few pinches of salt; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Next, mix in the garlic, harissa seasoning, 2 teaspoons of salt and tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until softened.
