Harrissa Paste

Total Time:10 minutes

Equipment

  • food processor
  • mortar & pestle

Ingredients

  • 10 red chili peppers
  • 10 green chili peppers

  • 1 garlic clove
  • ΒΌ cups olive oil plus more for drizzling on top

Instructions

  • Begin by removing the seeds from the chili pepper, the easiest way I found was by gently rolling the pepper between my fingers to release the seeds from the pepper and gently tapping as much out as possible
  • Prepare the red bell peppers by removing the seeds and core - roughly cut in quarters.
  • Place both the chili and bell peppers in a mortar and pestle or a food processor, with the garlic clove, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  • Place in a well-sealed jar, drizzle extra olive oil, and keep in the fridge.
