Homemade Harissa Paste

A smoky, fiery North African chili paste made from rehydrated dried chiles blended with toasted cumin, coriander and caraway, garlic, smoked paprika, tomato paste, lemon juice, vinegar and a little olive oil. It's deep red and punchy, and it livens up stews, eggs, roasted vegetables, couscous and marinades.
