6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semolina flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil-based buttery spread softened
  • 2/3 cup hemp almond, or coconut milk
  • 1 cup dry cured olives pitted
  • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Harcha:
  • Mix dry ingredients, then add and mix in Earth Balance until fine crumbs form. (This is best done with your hands or a fork.) 
  • Add milk, 2 tablespoons at a time, until a slightly sticky dough is formed. Let rest for 20 minutes. 
  • Form into small balls of about 2 tablespoons dough each. 
  • Flatten with your hands to 1⁄2" circles and set aside 
  • Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan on medium low, and cook in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Tapenade:
  • Place all ingredients except oil into a food processor, and run on high until a chunky paste is formed. 
  • Drizzle oil in until mixture is spreadable and taste is not overpowering (you may want to use more or less oil). 
  • To serve, top each cooked mini-harcha with 1 tablespoon of Jamie Geller Harissa mixed with oil and water, spread thinly, and 1 tablespoon olive tapenade. 
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
