Harissa Sauce

8 - dried hot red chiles
1 T olive oil
4 - garlic cloves
1 t ground coriander
1 t ground caraway
1/2 t salt
2 t fresh lemon juice
1/4 C water

Stem and seed the chiles, and break them into pieces. Place the chiles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak the chiles for 15 minutes. Drain but do not pat dry.

Combine the chiles, oil, garlic, coriander, caraway, and salt in a food processor and process to a paste. Add the lemon juice and water and process until smooth, adding a little extra water if the sauce is too thick. The sauce is now ready to use in recipes.
