How to make Three-Chilli Harissa

Place guajillo and chipotle chillies in a large heatproof bowl and pour in boiling water to cover. Let chillies soak until softened, 40–45 minutes; drain.

Grind nigella seeds and coriander seeds in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a food processor and add garlic, cumin, salt, and Aleppo pepper and pulse until garlic is very finely chopped. Add chillies and pulse until they are chopped. Add oil and vinegar and pulse just until incorporated (mixture should have the texture of a coarse paste).

Harissa can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
