Making your own harissa
This weekend, harissa is turning into a rockstar in the Marais. From October 19th to 25th, Ooochie Mama is taking over 31 rue de Turenne with Soul Kitchen, a pop-up that's as spicy as it is creative, born after winning the contest organized by Qonto. On the menu: tastings, workshops to make your own harissa, live music and even a pizza & vinyl day. All centered around the new Hot Stuff recipe, created for those who love intense flavors. And because the experience is playing out across Paris too, ten partner restaurants have each imagined a dish featuring Ooochie Mama harissa. A week when things are definitely going to heat up in the Marais.
