Directions

- In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, harissa, caraway, and salt and pepper with the water and add them to the skillet.

Notes
- You can add some shrimp (no skin or tail) for a nice seafood Ojja. Just add shrimp at the beginning with the veggies.
- For additional spiciness, add more Harissa.
- Definition: Harissa is Tunisian hot chili pepper paste that is made from roasted red peppers.
