Making a harissa is easy and fun.  You can mix it 50/50 with tom ketchup too for those who like it a bit sweeter.

Broadly (though there are myriad variations)

Red pepper
Garlic
Olive oil
Ground cumin
Ground coriander
Red chillies
Cayenne
Salt and pepper

Char red pepper over naked flame on hob until totally black.  Run under cold water to cool a little then rub all the burnt skin off.  Core, pat dry and chop roughly.  Sling in blender with other ingredients (vary the amounts according to your taste) and liquidise to a thick paste.  Store in fridge in tub with a layer of olive oil poured over.

I am going to make that.. thanks

Yeah, do it.  It really is v. versatile and you can make it as garlicky/hot/spicey as you like.  Bit too much for the kids last time I made it so, as I said, I let it down with ketchup and they adored it.  I quite liked it too, lol. 

Can experiment with adding herbs (leaf coriander is good), vinegars, lemon/lime juice, extra spices (ground fennel seed is the nuts) etc etc.  Just a very good base recipe. Excellent with fish too.
