Thanks for the recommendation! I like cilantro, but have never tried
harissa. I used to make a marinade with a chili paste I can't find
anymore. It was very, very thick - like tomato paste.

Here's the recipe if you ever stumble across it.

2 cloves garlic
1T soy
1T chili paste with garlic
1 T rice vinegar
2t (asian) sesame oil

Sometimes, I'd add hoisin. Hoisin seems to go with everything.
