How to cook deliciously - Harissa Paste
1 . Stage
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 . Stage
Remove stems from chile peppers and cut them in half. Remove all or some of the seeds if you want a milder harissa.
3 . Stage
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add caraway, cumin, and coriander; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4 . Stage
Toss chile peppers, toasted spices, and garlic with 1/4 cup olive oil in a large baking dish.
5 . Stage
Bake in the preheated oven until chile peppers are very soft but not burned, about 1 hour. Stir a few times to ensure even cooking. Let cool.
6 . Stage
Transfer mixture to a food processor and purée until paste-like but still a little chunky. Season with salt.
7 . Stage
Spoon into a sterilized glass jar and level the top. Add enough olive oil so the surface is covered and the harissa won't dry out. Seal and refrigerate.
