Harissa Paste image

Harissa paste is easy to make at home. Many recipes include vinegar for preservation, but it gives the harissa an off-taste. This is an authentic recipe, made without vinegar.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 mild to medium hot red chili peppers
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
½ teaspoon coarsely ground cumin seeds
½ teaspoon coarsely ground coriander
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more as desired
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove stems from chili peppers and cut them in half. Remove all or some of the seeds if you want a milder harissa.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add caraway, cumin, and coriander and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir so the spices won't burn.
  • Toss chili peppers, spices, 1/4 cup olive oil, and garlic in a baking dish large enough to fit chili peppers in one layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chili peppers are very soft but not burned, about 1 hour. Stir a few times to ensure even cooking. Let cool.
  • Transfer to a food processor and puree until paste-like but still a little chunky. Season with salt.
  • 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.

Meh. I found this paste to be a bit too spicy for my taste, even though I love spicy food. The flavor was also a bit one-dimensional.

Absolutely delicious! I used this paste to marinate some lamb chops and they turned out so tender and flavorful. The paste is also great as a dipping sauce for vegetables.

This harissa paste was a breeze to make! I was a bit worried about the spice level, but it turned out to be just right - smoky and tangy without being overpowering. I can't wait to try it on some grilled chicken.
