Harissa DIY

(by Takaya)

So what's up with that :

Besides that's it's very good and very tasty ?

Well... it's empty !!!

So I checked the ingredients and I thought maybe I could do it. So I tried :

Harissa - check

Extra Virgin olive oil - check

Dried tomatoes - check 

I tried to bring the ingredients together - to make it smell right.

I thought something was missing so I added some extra fresh garlic and fresh coriander - which are already present in the harissa.

Not quite there but I mixed and well it's ready to go.

So what's up with that ?

Hmmm missing aroma was probably not so much garlic but maybe more tasty dried tomatoes. Well these tend to have a marked difference between "sun grown" and "greenhouse grown". 

Should I be also making the harissa out of fresh ingredients ? 

I'm keeping the "control" original Harissa paste pot and I'll get there !!
