Harissa - Moroccan Hot Sauce

Harissa - Moroccan Hot Sauce


1. Place the chiles in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.

2. Place over high heat and let the water come to a boil.

3. Remove from heat and let sit for about an hour.

4. Drain the chiles and place in a blender or food processor along with the salt and garlic.

5. Blend the mixture and add the lemon juice, bit by bit, to keep the mixture moving. ( If the peppers don't seem to be blending, add additional lemon juice as needed.).

6. Once the mixture is thoroughly blended, remove and place in a small glass jar.

7. Stir in the cumin and smooth the mixture down.

8. Pour enough olive oil over the "harissa" to completely cover the top.

9. Cover and refrigerate.

10. Makes about 1/2 cup.
