In a pan with olive oil, sauté the onion. Add the ground beef and sear over high heat. When the meat starts to brown, stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, chili, and harissa. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the tomato cubes. Let reduce until the juice coats the meat without drowning it. Off the heat, add the chopped parsley and cilantro to keep their fragrance intact.

Frequently asked questions
How do you get this dish right?

- Rub a garlic clove on the warm toasted bread for extra character.
How long does this dish keep?
