  1. I really like this recipe for harissa, as it calls for items which we generally have lying around which makes it convenient. However, I am giving it only 4 stars because it is not very specific about suggested varieties of peppers, which can effect the heat and volume dramatically. We use a combination of guajillo for bulk and some arbol or thai bird or something like that for heat. Otherwise an awesome recipe.
     
  2. This was easy to make and came out quite yummy. The chillis I used were green birdseyes fresh off the plant, so this wasn't very hot at all, but unfortunately that's all I had on hand. I did find that I had far too much liquid at the end, you'll see that in my picture. I'd love to know what the recommended chilli is for this dish so that I can try again.
     
  3. My new "go-to" condiment when I want something a little different. Great as is or as a dip made with plain yogurt. Quite versatile and the seasonings give it a different "hot" taste from Mexican ( which I also love). Great recipe !
     
  4. I really liked this. I use it to make sauces spicy or zing of a cheese-spread. Thank you!
     
  5. I am finding this really too salty for me, but I should say that I clearly wasn't using the right kind of peppers, since I ended up having to add some pickled jalapenos I happened to have in the fridge, in addition to some a few tsps of West Indian hot pepper sauce to increase the heat to my taste. I think it could be really great with the right kind of pepper, though.
