Harissa (chili Paste)
Ingredients
- 2 ounces dried hot red chili peppers (stems and seeds removed)
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 teaspoon ground caraway
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Soak the chili peppers in water for 30 minutes, until soft. Drain and pound with the garlic, spices, and a little salt with a pestle and mortar, or blend in a food processor, adding just enough oil, by the tablespoon, to make a soft paste. Press into a jar and cover with oil. Makes 3/4-1 cup.
