Method

To make the harissa, lightly toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a small pan over medium heat, stirring often until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. Allow to cool.

In a food processor, purée the seeds with the chillies, spring onions, garlic, parsley, coriander and lemon juice. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and finally the salt until you have a smooth paste. To store,
