There are two ways to prepare harissa - machine and manual. If you intend to grind peppers in a blender, then in addition to seeds and stalks, they must also be removed from the skin. If you cut the fruit with a knife, you can not remove the skin. Cooking harissa by hand is a laborious process. If you decide to do this, do not forget to wear culinary gloves when working with pepper.
