Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 12 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 tablespoon dried mint
• 1 tablespoon coriander, ground
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 6 ounces bird's eye chiles, seeded and stems removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Make sure that the surface is covered with a layer of oil each time you use some. When you run out of Harissa you can use the oil to add flavor to fried or baked dishes.

Step 2

Place the chiles, garlic, ground coriander, cumin, salt, mint, and cilantro into a blender or food processor. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of the olive oil. Store in a bowl or jar in the refrigerator with the remaining oil poured in a layer over the top.
