Homemade Harissa Mix
You can buy this fiery Tunisian condiment easily nowadays, but I do recommend you try this homemade version. This is a dry mix which you can use as a seasoning, or combine it with oil to make harissa paste.
Makes about 8 tbsp
½ cup birds eye chili peppers (or other hot pepper)
2 tbsp paprika powder
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tsp caraway seeds
2-3 tsp salt
3 inch cinnamon stick
5-6 dried bay leaves
tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Directions:
- Break up the cinnamon stick and crumble the bay
- Add the peppers, bay and cinnamon pieces to your grinder and finely grind along with the salt, cumin, caraway and coriander seeds
- Once ground, add to a bowl
- Finally, add the paprika and garlic powders to the bowl. Combine thoroughly
That's all there is to it!
Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

How to Toast and Grind
Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...
Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.
Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.
Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
