- 1 roasted jalapeno pepper (or use hotter peppers)
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds

Instructions
FOR HOMEMADE HARISSA SAUCE
- Heat a small pan to medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, caraway seeds and cumin seeds and dry toast them for 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan a bit, until the seeds become fragrant.
- Transfer the seeds to a mortar along with the paprika, chili flakes, mint and salt. Grind them down with a pestle.
- Pour the spice mixture into the food processor along with the roasted peppers. Add the fresh garlic, oil and lemon juice. Process until smooth.
FOR THE BAKED HARISSA CHICKEN BREASTS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Rub each chicken breast down with a few tablespoons harissa sauce.
- Set the chicken onto a lightly oiled baking sheet or oven safe pan and bake them for 20-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. They should be 165 degrees F internally when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove from heat. Spoon or baste on extra harissa sauce.
- Serve with your favorite side dish, such as rice, pasta or vegetables, with extra harissa sauce on the side.
