Make this easy harissa paste with dried chiles, garlic, and warm North African spices and keep it in the fridge for use on meat, chicken, fish, or even veggies. You can also stir in a bit of harissa in your soups and stews or to add a little kick to your shakshuka or hummus!

Easy Harissa Recipe

New Mexico Chiles or Guajillo Chiles

peppers

tomato paste

tsp caraway seeds (toasted

tsp smoked paprika

cayenne pepper

Kosher salt

lemon (2 tbsp fresh lemon juice)

extra virgin olive oil (more for later)

Soak and prepare the dried chiles. Place the dried chiles in a heat-safe bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside for 30 minutes until the chiles are tender and re-hydrated. Drain the chiles and remove the stems and seeds.

Combine chiles with the remaining ingredients. Transfer the chiles to the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade. Add the tomato paste, roasted red peppers, garlic, ground caraway seeds, coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), and a large pinch of kosher salt. Add fresh lemon juice.

Make the harissa paste. Run the food processor, and while it’s running, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil from the top opening. Stop the processor to scrape down the sides and run again until you reach the desired paste-like texture. Taste and adjust seasonings to  your liking (remember that harissa paste will deepen in flavor as it sits in the fridge over the next day or two).

Store. Transfer the harissa paste to a clean mason jar. Cover with a very thin layer of extra virgin olive oil, then cover the jar with its lid tightly and refrigerate.

Easy DIY Harissa Paste

New Mexico chiles ((or other large dried chile with mild-to-medium spiciness))

chiles de arbol ((increase

Tbsp (heaping) cumin seeds

garlic,

½ tsp smoked paprika

tsp sea salt

Tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

tomato paste ((or sub finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes))

Add dried chilies to a mixing bowl or measuring cup and cover with hot water. (We used a mix of mild New Mexico chiles and hot peppers (chiles de arbol). Adjust the ratio to preferred spice level.)&nbsp;Once submerged, cover and steam for 15-20 minutes to rehydrate. Set aside.

In the meantime, add cumin and coriander seeds to a small skillet and toast over medium heat for a few minutes, or until fragrant and they start to pop. Then transfer to a mortar and pestle (if you don't own one, just add to a food processor to mix later), and crush into a fine powder.

Next add caraway seeds, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and salt, and mix. Then add lemon juice and vinegar and mix again until you've achieved a paste. Transfer paste to food processor and add&nbsp;the tomato paste. Set aside.

Once chiles are rehydrated, drain and remove the stems and seeds (I recommend wearing gloves to protect your hands), then add to food processor. At this point, all ingredients (besides olive oil) should be in the food processor.

Blend for 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed until a smooth paste is achieved. Then stream in 1/4 cup olive oil while blending to create a saucier consistency (see photo). (Add more oil (or water) as needed until desired consistency is achieved.)

Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon or vinegar for acidity, paprika for smokiness, tomato paste for depth of flavor,&nbsp;or salt to taste. If it's not spicy enough at this point, you can either add more chiles de arbol (rehydrated and seeds removed) or cayenne pepper to taste.

Scoop paste into a&nbsp;jar to store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. If storing in the freezer, we recommend scooping into an ice cube tray, freezing, and storing in a freezer-safe container up to 2 months. Add cubes directly to warm foods (like stews or cooked sauces). If adding to cold foods (like dressings or dips), let thaw before adding.

Harissa is a hot chili paste that originated in Tunisia, North Africa. It is commonly used as a dip or marinade, or to add to dishes like stews to add vibrant red color and heat. Chili peppers were originally imported to Tunisia in the 16th century during the Spanish occupation, and shortly thereafter harissa quickly became a staple part of Tunisian (and Middle Eastern) cuisine.

Easy DIY Harissa Paste | Minimalist Baker

This satisfying yet super-healthy recipe is all cooked in one pan for minimum washing up

One-pan chicken couscous

onion, thinly sliced

chicken breast, diced

good chunk fresh root ginger

harissa paste,

apricots

chickpeas,

couscous

chicken stock

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 1-2 mins just until softened. Add the chicken and fry for 7-10 mins until cooked through and the onions have turned golden. Grate over the ginger, stir through the harissa to coat everything and cook for 1 min more.

Tip in the apricots, chickpeas and couscous, then pour over the stock and stir once. Cover with a lid or tightly cover the pan with foil and leave for about 5 mins until the couscous has soaked up all the stock and is soft. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and scatter over the coriander to serve. Serve with extra harissa, if you like.

Authentic Harissa Paste Recipe - a north African condiment that will add depth and smokey spice to meats, stews and roasted vegetable dishes. PLUS a 5-minute "cheater version"! See notes.

How to Make Harissa Paste - 2 Ways!

chilies

tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted

tablespoon caraway seeds, toasted

tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted

tablespoons olive oil

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

paprika

vinegar (apple cider, red or white wine)

ground cumin

tablespoons smoked paprika

chili powder

cayenne

salt

6-10 garlic cloves, finely minced (use a garlic press)

Cut stems off the chilies and shake out the seeds. Break apart if you like. Toast the dried chiles in a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes (turn the fan on!) so they release their flavorful oils. Place them in a medium pot of boiling water, simmer 15 minutes, turn heat off, cover, let sit 30 minutes.

Toast spices and grind them.When the chilies are soft and rehydrated, drain. Place all the ingredients in a food processor &#8211; chilies, spices, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and pulse until desired consistency. If you like a “looser” style add more oil.

To store, place in sealable jar and drizzle olive oil over top after each use, to preserve. It will last 1-2 months in the fridge. As long as it’s covered with a layer of oil , it should keep well.

My mother and father are Tunisian. I grew up with the stuff. Our recipe is much simpler.  The peppers, garlic, some lemon, and salt. The peppers you are using are perfect. My mother used to tell me the it was dried red peppers from Italy is what we used.

Delicious. My family is Libyan. We just use peppers lemon garlic and salt.  I made your recipe this evening  and I enjoy it a lot! I’ll be adding this to my Shakshuka tomorrow.

Yum. I noticed that gochugaru flakes work the best due to their subtle smokiness. I also add dried rose hips/petals - try, it works magically. Cheers!

Made the quick version of this recipe tonight to go with your split pea soup recipe - so good! Thank you for sharing!

sylvia!  you've totally done it again with this amazing harissa!
i'm starting to forget how i used to make food before i met you ;)

This is my first time making harissa paste, and I now consider it a staple. Beautiful depth and flavor! I used it on my lamb roast, and it was exquisite.

Question: is it ok to freeze rather than refrigerate?

I use this recipe all of the time, and make it often for gifts!
