1/2 ts Salt
A fiery red chilli paste from North Africa, usually served with
couscous. Use it in marinades, or slightly diluted with a little
water and olive oil, as a hot accompaniment for spicy braises.
Toast the caraway, coriander, and cumin seeds together in a dry pan.
Heat them for 3-4 minutes until they start to really release their
fragrance. Pound the spices in a mortar and pestle.
Put the spices together with all the other harissa ingredients in a
food processor and puree. You want to end up with a thick but not
solid paste, so add a little of the chilli soaking liquid to get the
right texture.
