Smoky Harissa Spice Blend
Smoky Harissa Spice Blend layers dried, smoked chiles with toasty cumin, coriander, and caraway for a deep, aromatic heat. Notes of garlic, paprika, and herbs round it out, making it a versatile seasoning that shines on roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, or stirred into soups and grains. Ideal to keep on hand for weeknight dinners or backyard cookouts.

Remove and discard the stems and seeds from the dried chiles. If the chiles are large, slice them in halves or quarters.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low. Add the chiles and warm them until any moisture has evaporated. Move the chiles to a wire rack to cool.

Add the cumin, coriander, caraway, and peppercorns to the same skillet over medium-low. Stir until the seeds are toasted and fragrant but not burning, about 3 minutes. Transfer the seeds to a plate and let them cool.

Grind the chiles and toasted seeds with a mortar and pestle to a coarse powder. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, smoked salt, parsley, and oregano. Continue blending until the spices are fully combined and pulverized. Store in an airtight container for up to one month, or until any of the single ingredients expire, if earlier.
