Grind the peppers in a food processor with the garlic, cumin, cilantro and salt.
⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
3
Add the oil and vinegar in a thin stream, while Tahini, until a smooth paste.
⚙ Fat in a Thin StreamFood processor
💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
4
Transfer to a jar and cover with a layer of oil about a centimeter deep. Store in the fridge, and for long storage freeze in small jars.
💡The layer of oil on top seals the harissa from the air, so it doesn't sour or grow mold.
