- 2 pounds dry sweet peppers
- A handful of dry hot peppers according to the degree of spiciness you like
- 1 head garlic peeled
- 1 ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 ½ tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 ½ cups olive oil
Wash the dried peppers well.
In a large bowl, soak the peppers in separate bowls in boiling water for 45 minutes. It is recommended to place a weight on top to help keep them submerged.
Strain the sweet peppers out and with a sharp knife cut off the ends to remove the seeds. Leave the hot peppers as they are with seeds.
In a powerful food processor or blender, grind the peppers together with garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt. Gradually add oil while blending until desired thickness.
Transfer to a jar, pour olive oil over top and cover.
Keep in the fridge for about a week or so. Make sure the top is covered with olive oil.
