     Title: Harissa Sauce
Categories: Moroccan, Sauces, Tunisian
     Yield: 1 Cup

   1/2 c  Dried chiles
     1 tb Caraway seeds
     2 ts Coriander seeds
     3 sm Fresh hot chiles; seeded
     5 cl Garlic; crushed
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/4 c  Water
     2 tb Olive oil
     1 tb White wine vinegar

 Use this Tunisian hot sauce in the traditional manner--to enliven
 vegetable tagies and similar stews from that part of the world--or
 use your imagination and let it spice up life in unexpected ways: as
 a condiment for sautéed tofu or veggie burgers or as an addition to
 vegan mayonnaise or any sauce where you want a bit of flavorful heat.

 De-seed the dried chiles and cut into small pieces. Soak in very hot
 water to cover for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

 Place the caraway and coriander seeds in a small skillet over low
 heat and toast them until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring
 frequently so they don't burn. Remove from the heat and grind finely
 in a spice grinder.

 In a food processor, grind the fresh chiles, garlic, ground spices,
 and salt. Add the dried chiles to the processor along with the water,
 olive oil, and vinegar. Process into a smooth paste. Harissa will
 keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for several weeks.
