6 lb dried red peppers ((ideally dried under the sun))

  • Add the remaining oil and the tabel. Mix well by hand and grind the mixture for a third time.

TUNISIAN HARISSA



Tunisian Harissa image

Harissa is a blend of spices with red pepper and garlic. Its consistency is like tomato paste. It is used in Tunisia and Algeria, and probably all over North Africa, to add rich, spicy, hot flavor to prepared food. It's also used as a snack, spread on french bread (or other bread) that has been spread with olive oil. You can use harissa in many other dishes, just to spice things up!
