Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 3 tomatoes (large, chopped)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 onion (medium, diced)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup sambal oelek
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground caraway
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instruction
- In a pan over medium heat, heat the oil, then add the onions, sambal oelek, garlic, cumin, caraway, coriander, and chili powder. Stir the onions and spices, until the onions are softened/translucent (approximately 5 minutes).
- Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Allow the mix to simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and cover. Allow the ingredients to rest, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Uncover and pour the mix into a blender or large bowl (if using a hand held food processor). Blend/process the mix until smooth.
- Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or for best flavor allow the harissa tomato sauce to chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
