Chilli break

In between some cleaning/repairs I finally got around to making up some harissa and some chilli sauce.

The harissa recipe has evolved from one given to me by my brother Graeme, way back when he had a Mediterranean/North African item or two at his restaurant.  Basically the same roasted pepper, chilli, cumin, coriander, olive oil mix with  a couple of extras to preserve that I've been making for quite a few years.  It keeps well in the fridge.

And the chilli sauce is a similar base, with some tomato, vinegar, salt, and just a hint of 'smoke'  - usually from smoked paprika powder, but couldn't get any this time so had to resort to a few drops of 'liquid smoke'!  Not ideal but does the trick.
