Harissa: the versatile North-African spice blend that you didn't know worked well in everything. This pestle-pounded paste is fun to make, unbelievably fresh-tasting, and wonderful for adding heat to curries, soups, and stews.

2 ounces dried hot red chili peppers (stems and seeds removed)
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon ground caraway
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
extra-virgin olive oil
Soak the chili peppers in water for 30 minutes, until soft.
Drain and pound with the garlic, spices, and a little salt with a pestle and mortar, or blend in a food processor, adding just enough oil, by the tablespoon, to make a soft paste. Press into a jar and cover with oil.
This keeps very well for many weeks in the refrigerator covered with oil.
