HARISSA SAUCE#1 (dried Ancho’s)

Recipe By : Jennifer Trainer Thompson
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:10
Categories : Condiments Seasoning Chile

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 dried chile anchos
1/8 cup tomato paste
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons cayenne
6 medium garlic cloves
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons coriander
3/4 cup water or reconstituted chile water

Reconstitute the anchos by putting them in a pot of hot water and
soaking until soft, about 20 minutes. While the chiles are soaking,
puree all the ingredients except the water in a blender or food
processor.

Remove the anchos from the pot (reserving the water), stem and tear
them into several pieces, and add to the blender. Taste the chile
water, and if not bitter, add 3/4 cup to the blender (otherwise add
water). Puree until smooth. For a thinner sauce, add more chile water
in small increments until you reach the desired consistency.
Refrigerated, harissa will keep for several weeks.

NOTES : This rip-roaring North African and French hot sauce made with
cayenne (called “the enraged pepper” by the French) is served with
many things — stews, grilled mussels, even bread. Its thick,
paste-like consistency makes it a flavorful side accompaniment to
grilled meats, or it can be thinned with chile water and served over
couscous.

NOTES : In the introduction to the “As Life Unfurls” section, Molly O’Neil
wrote: “Delicate and changeable as they are, fiddleheads should not be
misconstrued as low maintenance. Their fibrous stems need to be snipped and
the tight fronds must then be soaked and soaked again to wash away the tawny
parchment shreds that protect each strand from the cold. The tight coils
then need to be cooked, most gently.”
