AuthorNote: This spice blend is traditionally used to flavor couscous. It
is a very hot chili paste. This recipe can also be served as a spread
along with bread or tossed with pasta, rice or steamed vegetables. It can
be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. A milder version of this
paste can be made by using sun dried tomatoes in place of the dried
chilies and adding 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
