Harissa Sauce
Description
The Harissa Sauce starts by combining dried New Mexico chiles with garlic cloves and roasted red peppers in a food processor. Warm spices like caraway seeds, coriander, and cumin contribute distinctive earthy and aromatic notes to the blend. Olive oil is incorporated in stages while pulsing, smoothing the mixture into a thick paste that can be adjusted for consistency by adding more oil if needed. The sauce can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator. Its robust flavor comes from the balance of dried chili heat and the sweet, smoky roasted peppers, complemented by the complex spices. Harissa sauce adds depth to meals and can be spread, mixed into stews, or used as a marinade.
