Dry Harissa Spice Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Over medium heat in a cast iron skillet, put, coriander, cumin and caraway seeds and roast (careful not to burn) for about 3-5 minutes or until the aroma starts emitting and the seeds are more dry and brittle. Put in a mortar and pestle and grind into a dust-like mixture. It will be warm. (You can put in a coffee grinder, but I like the love that comes from the old country way of preparing.) Put the paprika, sea slat garlic powder and cayenne in another small bowl and blend. Put the warm ground seeds and other blended ingredients in a clean canning jar and blend. Cover with the lid and shake and blend. Done! Now make your dishes extravagant & enjoy the magic carpet ride to an exotic place!

Steps:

• Remove and discard stems and seeds from dried chiles. Slice chiles in half or quarters, if they are large.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add chiles and heat through to ensure all the moisture has evaporated. Remove and place on a rack to cool. Place cumin seeds, coriander seeds, caraway seeds, and peppercorns to skillet. Stir seeds and toast until fragrant but not burning, about 3 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
• Grind chiles and toasted seeds with a mortar and pestle into a coarse powder. Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, smoked salt, parsley, and oregano. Continue to blend until all spices are completely combined and pulverized.
