Ingredients
- 2 red peppers jarred, without juice, whole, roasted
- ⅓ cup harissa powder homemade or store-bought
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 garlic roughly chopped, cloves
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ⅓ cup olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor (or a bowl that can accommodate an immersion blender), place the roasted red peppers, harissa powder, garlic cloves, tomato paste, lemon juice and olive oil.
- Blend to your desired consistency. Taste for seasoning and add more if desired.
- Store in an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- : I found that ⅓ cup of olive oil was enough to give this recipe a rich taste and smooth, paste-like consistency. However, you can increase this amount to ½ cup if you prefer a thinner mix or a less concentrated spiciness.
- Storage: To store your harissa paste from powder, transfer it to an airtight container or mason jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. I recommend pouring a thin level of olive oil over the top to limit the exposure to
- oxygen and bacteria before storing.
- Freezing: You can freeze harissa paste in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to a month. You can also portion it in ice cubes, freeze until solid, and then transfer the individual cubes into freezer bags to use in your daily cooking.
- Yields: This recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of harissa paste, which is ideal for 6 servings. The nutritional values below are per serving.
