Recipe View 2 mins Shake coriander and caraway seeds in a skillet over medium heat until you start to smell the spice (about 2 minutes). Use a mortar and pestle to crush toasted seeds; add cumin, mint, and salt, and crush until finely ground. Transfer spices to a blender and add roasted bell peppers, chiles, garlic, lemon juice, and vegetable oil; puree until smooth. Drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil at the end, blending for only a few seconds.

For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes from all the chili peppers.
Roasting the peppers over an open flame on a gas stove can also be done for a smoky flavor.
Harissa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
