Now I’m intrigued–searching for nuts coated in harissa now.
I use Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone recipe, just switching the peppers, and all you’ll need is olive oil, salt, coriander, cumin, and caraway.

Tunisian baklouti peppers? Now I’m intrigued! I love nuts coated in harissa. What else will I need to make it?

I am growing Tunisian baklouti peppers (Baker Creek). They are a great all-purpose hot pepper in addition to being traditional for the North African sauce called harissa. I used them fresh both green and red last summer. I ended up with a lot, so I froze some and then oven-dried the rest (after a failed experiment in sun-drying in a humid area).
