I received some beautiful differently colored peppers in my weekly CSA delivery… thank you Farmer Christopher Totman! So before they went to waste I thought I would make a harissa (Tunisian hot chilli sauce). I used my hands to take out all of the seeds, and not long after I made it, which I think turned out delicious my hands were burning, especially my finger tips. Then I felt under my eye burning and I went to bed with a small red welt on my face (sort of looked like a hive). When I woke up the next morning and put my contacts in suddenly my eye was burning, and I realized my hands were still burning! Long story short… use gloves when you handle hot peppers!
- Blended or finely chopped hot peppers
- Olive oil
- Fresh cilantro
- Salt
- Garlic
You can either blend the peppers or just let them blend into the oil.
