Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

- #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.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
