Homemade sugar-free harissa

A smoky, punchy harissa with no added sugar. Keep a jar in the fridge or a tray of cubes in the freezer and you will find yourself using it in everything. Mix it with yogurt for a dip or a marinade, stir it through prawns for the last two minutes of cooking, toss it with roasted vegetables (especially carrots, see my harissa roasted carrots on garlicky butter bean mash) or use it to make hummus a bit more interesting. It is best frozen in ice cube trays, so you can use a cube or two whenever you need it.
