Ingredients

200 g jarred roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons tomato puree
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 juice of lemon

Instructions

Take your teaspoon club spice mix stage 1, dried chillies, and soak them in hot water 30 minutes to rehydrate them.Put a lid on the chillies whilst they are soaking and ensure the water is pretty hot whilst rehydrating as this makes them softer and therefore easier to blend later on. Once rehydrated take the chillies out, remove the stems and deseed them. We strongly recommend you wear gloves whilst doing this
Whilst the chillies are soaking, take your teaspoon club spice mix stage 2, carraway seeds, and dry toast them in a frying pan for up to 2 minutes being careful to ensure they do not burn. Once toasted put them in a pestle and mortar and give them a good grind
Take the jarred roasted red peppers, drain them, rinse them and dry them. Add the jarred roasted red peppers, chillies, ground carraway seeds, teaspoon club spice mix stage three, tomato puree, garlic, salt, olive oil and fresh lemon juice to a food processor. Blitz this mixture, making sure to stop occassionally and scrape down the sides. Continue this until you reach a paste like texture
Spoon the harissa paste into a clean, lidded jar. Drizzle olive oil on top of the harissa paste to form a seal. Place your harissa paste into the fridge and use within 6 weeks
