Instructions

1. Place dried chile in a bowl and pour boiling water over it. Allow to stand for 30 minutes and discard water. Grind it in a food processor with enough oil to make a good paste – be sure and grind SMOOTH. Leave in blender and reserve.
2. Roast or grill all of your fresh peppers over an open flame until skins are blistered & blackened. As you remove each one from the heat, throw them into a brown paper bag and fold it closed. This traps the steam and helps you remove their skins easily.
3. Roast your garlic. While that is cooking, peel your peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Chop coarsely, place in a bowl and set aside. Dice an onion and add it to your bowl of peppers. Add ginger, lemon juice, zest and toss lightly. Check your garlic – when soft and caramelized, squeeze into peppers and onions.
4. Dry roast your whole spices in a hot pan and remove when fragrant - stir constantly. Grind them to a powder and add remaining powdered spices. Set aside.
5. Add half of your olive oil into a large & heavy skillet. Add pepper, ginger and onion mixture. Saute on medium heat until the onions are browned – be very careful not to burn.
6. Pour this mix into the blender while still very warm. Add your spices and blend while adding remaining oil in a thin stream. Blend until smooth.
7. Once finished - blend all the Rose Harissa-specific ingredients to a paste with sufficient oil to make it smooth. Remember to dry-roast all of your whole spices before blending to release their essential oils. Add your petals, date, Rose Hips, flower waters and sugar after you have roasted and ground your whole spices.
8. When storing, keep the Harissa refrigerated in a jar with a thin layer of olive oil over the top to prevent oxidation or spoilage. Or freeze in an ice cube tray (this portions it) and bag it.
