Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick medium skillet over medium heat. Add the dried chiles and dried chipotle peppers and toast until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the water over the peppers and deglaze the skillet. Bring to a boil, then cover the skillet and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Transfer the rehydrated peppers to a food processor. Add the remaining oil, roasted red pepper, garlic, coriander, caraway and salt. Pulse until smooth and pureed, but it’s fine if it looks slightly broken.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight glass container and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours before using for best taste.

Notes

  • Tip: Adjust the peppers as you to keep better control of the heat level or your harissa paste.
