A hot chilli pepper paste.
Category: | Sauces & Spreads |
10 to 12 dried chillies |
3 cloves garlic |
1/2 tsp Salt |
2 tbs Water |
2 tbs Olive oil |
1 tsp ground coriander |
1 tsp ground caraway |
1 tsp ground cumin |
Soak the chillies in hot water until softened. Drain. Remove the stems and seeds. Put chillies, water, salt and garlic in a food processor and puree until well chopped. Add the remaining spices and puree until smooth.
Helpful hints:
Try different chillies for different heat levels. You may use a mortar and pestle if you don’t have a good processor. Store in a glass jar with a layer of olive oil on top. It will keep, covered, for up to a month. If olive oil gets too thin on top, add more.
