Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Harissa (African Hot Sauce)
- add review
- #16818
Harissa comes from Tunisia in North Africa. It's used to flavor soups, stews, and couscous and can also be used as a rub on meats. It's purpose isn't so much to add heat to a dish, but rather to add flavor.
serves/makes:
ready in:
30-60 minutes
30-60 minutes
ingredients
8 dried New Mexico chiles
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon Tabil or ground cumin
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
directions
Seed the chiles and cut them up with scissors. Place them in a bowl, cover with warm water, and soak them until they turn quite soft, 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Drain them and squeeze out the excess water. Place the chilies in a blender along with the remaining ingredients. Grind to a paste. Place in a small glass jar, cover with a thin layer of olive oil, and seal tightly.
Refrigerate for up to 3 or 4 weeks.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
