Harissa

This spicy North African condiment has many versions, but usually contains dried hot red pepper, caraway, cumin and garlic. Just a small dab packs quite a punch, and can be used to brighten soups, sauces or marinades. Thinned with olive oil, it’s good drizzled over grilled meat or vegetables. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

• 1 or 2 garlic cloves, smashed to a paste with a little salt
