TUNISIAN HARISSA
  • 1 ounce dried hot Habanaro peppers if you can't take the extra heat
  • 2 ounces mildly hot dried Guajillo chili peppers
  • 2 ounces mild dried Anaheim chili peppers
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground caraway seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground coriander seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • extra virgin olive oil for topping off
    1. Soak the peppers in tepid water to cover until softened, about 45 minutes to 1 hour . Drain and remove the stems and seeds. Place in a blender or food processor with the garlic, water, and olive oil and process until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the caraway, coriander, and salt. Store in a jar and top off, covering the surface of the paste with a layer of olive oil. Whenever the paste is used you must always top off with olive oil making sure no paste is exposed to air otherwise it will spoil.
