Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 dried ancho chiles -- stemmed, seeded (about 2 ounces total) *
5 dried guajillo chiles -- stemmed, seeded (about 1 ounce total) **
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 large garlic clove -- chopped
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Place all chiles in large bowl. Pour enough boiling water over to cover. Let soak until chiles are very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, stir cumin seeds and caraway seeds in small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly, then finely grind seeds in mortar with pestle or in spice mill.

Drain chiles and transfer to processor; add garlic and process until only tiny flecks of chiles remain. Transfer chile mixture to fine-mesh strainer set over medium bowl. Press mixture through strainer into bowl; discard solids in strainer. Mix ground cumin and caraway seeds, orange juice, and olive oil into chile mixture. Season harissa to taste with salt. DO AHEAD Can be made ahead. Cover and chill up to 1 week or freeze in airtight container up to 1 month.
