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.

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.

[email protected]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.
