Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 red bell peppers
10 habaneros
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

It reminds me of the harissa I made recently. It's a classic Morrocan hot
sauce, and many variations of it exist. The recipe goes something like the
following: Stem and seed the bell peppers and the habaneros. Grill the bell
peppers until well charred, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with
foil and let them "sweat" for 15 minutes, then peel. Put the bell peppers
flesh with everything else in the food processor, and process until smooth.
Of course you can improvise: leave some seeds from the peppers, substitute
tomatoes for one or all the bell peppers, using different chiles, etc... I
added a few cilantro sprigs. Good luck,
Gabi.
