Summer self procrastination.
Oh, it’s a thing-thing.
Every summer I map out what I want to accomplish. I create list after list and attempt to make said items on list come to fruition. But.Then comes eighty degree sun-filled days where friends persuade you to tube down a river with a beer in your hand….and the summer self procrastination strikes again.
I had an extreme case of summer self-procrastination when I took an early college course going into my senior year of high school. I am way more productive in the brutal cold months because no one is marinating outside.
Anyways, summer has just arrived, and summer procrastination is likely to rear its head. But I will tell you one thing: I will never procrastinate about making pizza. But not just any pizza, I’m talking pizza made with harissa. Can I just tell you that harissa is bomb diggity? As in I may have broken up with ketchup. GASP!!
Harissa is a Northern Africa hot sauce/condiment made up of green or red peppers. You can definitely make your own, but when time is of the essence, I always go for a jar of Mina Harissa. Mina Harissa comes in three flavors: red mild or spicy, and green. The red spicy harissa works perfectly as the little extra kick in this tomato sauce. Throw in a little Moroccan spiced cauliflower and cheese, and you’ve got one sassy pizza!
Make sure and check out the Mina Harissa website for more ideas/recipes, or on Twitter and Facebook!
Now, pass me a slice….errrrr make it two!

These photos are beautiful!!! So colorful. The flavors on this sound right up my alley. 🙂
This looks – and sounds! – absolutely amazing, Lauren. Love the pizza twist on traditional Moroccan flavors.
Sadly I think I am struck with year round procrastination – winter time calls me to snuggle up with a good book and cup of tea- there’s always an excuse. This looks amazing- great use of harissa! Definitely need to try.
Summer procrastination is about to be my life. And it is going to include ALL THE PIZZA! And all the harissa. Mina is my favorite!! Always have a jar of that in my life.
I am currently procrastinating, lol. I love spicy food so this is right up my street. Looks so delicious
