Add stemmed and seeded rehydrated peppers to food processor, blend again. Add 1 T salt 1 T paprika (heaping) 1 T fresh lemon juice -Blend- While blending drizzle in 8 T EVOO 1 tablespoon at a time. Alternate with 4 T water (or more if you want it thinner) Keep blending until reaching desired consistency.

Instructions:

  1. Put the chilies in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 30 minutes.
  2. In a dry pan, toast the caraway, coriander, and cumin seeds on low heat until they’re fragrant. 
  3. Put the spices in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle. 
  4. Strain the chilies but save the water in a separate bowl. 
  5. Take the stem and seeds out of the chilies and put them into a food processor with the spices, garlic, and salt. 
  6. Run the food processor and drizzle in olive oil until a paste forms. If it seems too thick, add in the reserved water. 
  7. Taste it, season it more if necessary and then pour it into a jar and cover with a little more olive oil.
  8. Use for up to a month, but make sure you top it with extra olive oil every time you take from it!
