Harissa Paste

I'm not sure where I got this recipe from. I THINK it was in a newsletter from HO ... if not and it is your recipe please let us know so we can acknowledge you 

Ingredients

10-12 Dried Red Chillies
1 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
3 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil


Procedure


Cover the chillies in boiling water and leave to soak for 1 hour then strain off the water and remove stems and seeds.

Place spice seeds into TM bowl and dry roast for 4 minutes at 100° on speed 1.

Let cool and pulverize for a few seconds on speed 9. (If salt in granules pulverise as well with spices).

Add remaining ingredients and slowly increase to speed 6 to form a paste. You may have to scrape down a few times and chop again.

Store in refrigerator in a clean jar. Cover with a thin layer of olive oil to keep longer.


Tips

Will keep for a month in the refrigerator.
You can use fresh chillies.
Use in small amounts as it is very strong.

Thanks faffa!  I haven't made harissa using my TMX but I'll keep this recipe in mind.  I had trouble sourcing some harissa paste last time I needed some for a couscous dish.
I also like using small amounts of harrissa mixed with olive oil and white wine vinegar to make a salad dressing (great to liven up a taboule!).

If you want to make a milder version that is delicious as a condiment, add roasted red capsicum..... yum!

In addition to the dried red chillies or instead of ultraviolet?

Is there nothing this forum has? I took a stab in the dark with this one and so glad it is here! I need one for a gluten free rice salad I'm making. Thanks Faffa
