Kammon Hoot (also known as Kammoon Hoot) is a Libyan spice blend that's very similar to Harissa but which contains a large portion of cumin (Kammon) and which is, most typically, used to season fish (Hoot). I hope you enjoy this classic Libyan version of: Kammon Hoot (Kammoon Hoot).

Ingredients:

1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp mint
3 tsp cumin seeds
5 garlic cloves
1 tsp coriander seeds
15 dried hot red chillies

Method:

Cover the chillies with hot water and let stand for 15 minutes until soft. Place chillies and remaining ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth using water that the chillies soaked in to thin it. The sauce should have the consistency of thick paste.

If you place the paste in a jar and cover with a thin film of olive oil it will keep for at least a couple of months in the refrigerator.
