How to Make Harissa Hot Pepper Sauce
- Roughly chop 1 pound of fresh red chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
- Add the chilies to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground but not completely pureed.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon of asafoetida powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to the food processor.
- Process until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chili for extra heat, lemon juice for brightness, or sugar to balance the spice.
- Thin with 2-4 tablespoons of rapeseed oil to reach your desired consistency.
