Harissa – Morocco chili sauce


harissa4

This sauce will make you take off and fly away on a magic carpet. You hear the music play down at the Jemaa el-Fna in Marrakech and you just fly, fly away.

Once you have tasted this sauce, I’m sure you will be as solid for the way I am. There is probably nothing that beats this strong, hot and flavorful sauce. šŸ™‚ The strength depends on the type of chilis you use. And you know what? You get used to, even if you do not like spicy seasoned.
The spices in the sauce is perfectly balanced, like everything else in Moroccan food.

8 red chillies without sprig
2 slices of pickled lemon
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 teaspoon dried coriander
3 tsp cumin
1 teaspoon salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ cup oil

Put everything in a blender and blend it until smooth. Ready to use. Keeps well in the refrigerator.

      Great šŸ™‚ Yes try it and Im sure you will love it. :)And yes there is different types of chilies. All dependss if you want a hot or a less hot sauce. The higher Scoville a chili have, the more hot it is. šŸ™‚ Start with a milder one if you are not use to hot food. šŸ™‚
