This hot sauce is served on the side with couscous so guests can add as much as they like. To seed the chilies, cut off the stem and tap the chili to shake out seeds. If you like a fair amount of heat, don't remove the seeds.

Ingredients

Method

In small dry skillet, toast coriander, caraway and cumin seeds, and hot peppers over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. With spice grinder, or in mortar with pestle, grind to fine powder; transfer to food processor.

In same skillet, heat half of the oil over low heat; fry garlic, turning occasionally, until deep golden, about 5 minutes.

Scrape oil and garlic into food processor. Add roasted red peppers, remaining oil, sugar, salt and pepper; purée until smooth. Let stand for 1 hour before using. (Refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.)
