Tunisian Harissa

submitted by amanda
from US

I had intended to contribute this before Ramadan but I am admittedly late.
This is a popular Tunisian
condiment and can be put on just about anything!
11 ounces dried red chile peppers
3/4 cup chopped garlic
2 cups caraway seed
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed
2 teaspoons salt

Remove the stems and seeds from the chile peppers. Soak in cold water for
20 minutes, then drain. Place the peppers, garlic, caraway, coriander,
and salt in a mortar; pound with a pestle until smooth. Place harissa in
a jar, and cover the top with a little oil to maintain freshness. Store in
the refrigerator.
