Marnie sent this recipe on Facebook and I was excited. I had never heard of Harissa.
I made it today with some variations:
I did not have cumin so I used a curry
I did not find whole corriander so I used the ground
I did not have one small halapeno pepper
I did not use any olive oil.
I did not have a mortar and pestil but used a wooden spoon. Only the caraway needed the grinding anyway and that worked fine.
Things I added to the process:
I scraped out the insides of the jalapeno peppers with a grapefruit knife and it worked great.
I blended in the serving bowl with the little hand puree tool. This makes for less waste, and although it takes more time than the blender, it saves cleanup and gives me more control of just how blended I want the mix to be.
I took the inside of the peppers, the outside of the garlic, and any other leftovers and put them in the water I used for the blanching process. I'll cook them a long while and when I'm done have a bit of spicy vegetable broth.
Where I could I used organic.
Bruce's garlic
Organic red pepper
Organic spices
I could not find a good organic hot pepper but these came from a local market, raised locally.
I also found that both the grinding of the heated spices and the blending of the mixture cleared my sinuses. I'm trying this the the next time I am congested or when I have a migraine.
I cooked accompanied by Jazz Decades

I went off the no carb part of the diet and opened a bag of organic blue corn ships, poured a bit of organic cabernet

and along with the sounds selected by Ray Smith had the perfect compliment to a rainy day.
Here is the results along with the tool for making puree ($2 at the thrift store here)
Here is the results along with NPR radio pumping out the Ray Smith selected sounds from Boston's WGBH
Meanwhile, Elizabeth was taking this photo of a red shouldered hawk (or possibly a merlin female- the results are muddied as they always are with these birder types) who came down on the unfiished foundation next door to check out the situation. She could not stay for harissa, but she did allow some nice pictures.
