  2. 1 cup olive oil
  3. 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  4. 2 garlic cloves

  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt -- or to taste

Method

  1. Using a mortar and pestle crush the spices, garlic and salt together to form a paste.
  2. Heat a frying pan, add the olive oil and spice mixture. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat for 5 minutes. Serve with the couscous dishes.
  3. Comments: For those who love hot things here is a sauce that is traditionally served with couscous. You must spoon it on and enjoy.
  4. This recipe is from Eva Zane's fine book "Middle Eastern Cookery."
