Harissa

By: NORMM1 
"I find it great with lamb chops, my BBQ butterflied leg of lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes and as a flavour base for any casseroles or stews where a fresh zing is needed. Especially good cooked with a vegetable bake and in guacamole."

Original Recipe Yield 40 - (1 teaspoon) servings
 

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bird's eye chiles, seeded and stems removed
  • 12 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon coriander, ground
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried mint
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the chiles, garlic, ground coriander, cumin, salt mint and cilantro into a blender or food processor. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of the olive oil. Store in a bowl or jar in the refrigerator with the remaining oil poured in a layer over the top.
  2. Make sure that the surface is covered with a layer of oil each time you use some. When you run out of Harissa you can use the oil to add flavor to fried or baked dishes.
