Fiery Tunisian Harrisa image

Try rubbing this chile paste on meats or fish before searing or grilling, or stir a small spoonful into some mayonnaise for a sandwich spread with a kick. Also mix a dollop into butter and toss with steamed veggies or couscous. The hotter the chiles, the hotter the harissa, so experiment and use sparingly to taste. Enjoy!

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 smoked chili peppers, such as ancho or chipotle
8 dried hot red chili peppers, such as New Mexico or cascabel
1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon caraway seed
8 garlic cloves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Remove seeds and stems from chiles. Cover in boiling water and set aside for 20 minutes to plump and rehydrate.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a small dry skillet over medium-high heat and toast cumin, coriander and caraway seeds for 2 to 3 minutes, until seeds are fragrant and begin to pop. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Transfer seeds to a blender and grind them to a powder.
