HARISSA - MOROCCAN HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chiles in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
• Place over high heat and let the water come to a boil.
• Remove from heat and let sit for about an hour.
• Drain the chiles and place in a blender or food processor along with the salt and garlic.
• Blend the mixture and add the lemon juice, bit by bit, to keep the mixture moving. ( If the peppers don't seem to be blending, add additional lemon juice as needed.).
• Once the mixture is thoroughly blended, remove and place in a small glass jar.
• Stir in the cumin and smooth the mixture down.
• Pour enough olive oil over the "harissa" to completely cover the top.
• Cover and refrigerate.
