Finishing the homemade harissa – 15 minutes

Create a paste using a mortar and pestle or by using a small blender. Puree the peppers and garlic cloves into a smooth paste. Add a little bit of water (from the bowl where you've soaked the chilli peppers in) to make it a bit smoother. You can also use a splash of good quality olive oil.

Add in cumin seed, caraway seed and salt and puree into a fine paste. You can now use the homemade harissa for all kinds of different types of dishes, such as chicken or as a condiment by mixing it in with some mayonnaise. Enjoy!
