Instructions

Mix the harissa powder and water in a small bowl. Let the mixture sit to rehydrate for 2 minutes (or longer).
Next, mix in the lemon juice (or vinegar) and olive oil. Stir until you have a thick paste.
Finally, add in the tomato paste. The harissa paste should be glossy with a thick texture.
Have a small taste. For more heat, add chilli powder to taste – one pinch at a time. I typically add another ¼ teaspoon of chilli powder (Aleppo pepper).
Use right away or transfer the harissa paste to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

My homemade harissa powder is a blend of dried chiles, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, caraway seeds, and sea salt. If you don't have a spice grinder, make a harissa spice blend substitute from ground spices. Or use shop-bought harissa spice.
