<span class="reviewDesc">A great recipe, but buy your chillies in bulk if you're going to make this.  It's uneconomical if you buy them from the supermarket.  Make loads in one go as it keeps for years and years and does not degrade.</span>

===Warning!===
Handling this amount of [[dried chillies]] at once can be a bit nasty. The dust and vapour that they may give off can make breathing difficult. I'm still coughing half an hour after making this batch. Don't let this put you off though, just take the following precautions.
# Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated and hold your breath when rinsing out the food processor.
# Keeps pets out of the kitchen whilst you are making this.
# Wear rubber gloves if your skin is sensitive.

Line 67: Line 88:


Because harissa paste is water based, it will won't keep for long periods, even if refrigerated.  Keeping the surface covered with oil helps to prolong its life a little, however, having made, and consumed litres of my homemade harissa paste, I think I have come up with the way of storing it:
