  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4             ounces  dried hot red New Mexico chili peppers -- (about 18 total)
     1/2           cup  extra-virgin olive oil -- plus more as needed
  7       medium cloves  garlic -- or 8
     1/2      teaspoon  ground cumin
     1/2      teaspoon  ground coriander
  1           teaspoon  coarse salt -- or to taste
 
 
Cut off the stems and soak the peppers in warm water until soft; drain and
squeeze out any excess water. Grind them, as North African Jews do, in a
meat grinder, or puree in a food processor, along with 1/4 cup of the oil,
the garlic, cumin, coriander and salt. The consistency should be a thick
puree, the color of deep red salmon. Transfer to a jar and pour the
remaining oil on top. Cover tightly and refrigerate for a few days before
using. Taste and adjust salt as needed before serving.
When it is ready to use, the harissa will appear less opaque. Use
sparingly, as it is quite potent.
 
Makes about 1 cup
 
MAKE AHEAD: The harissa needs a few days' refrigeration before it is ready
to be served. It can be refrigerated, tightly covered, for up tp 3 months.

This hot sauce, which varies from village to village in Tunisia, Morocco
and even Algeria, is delicious on falafel and grilled [favorite]. And a
teaspoon of it is said to be able to cure the worst cold.
