    Place all of the ingredients in a pestle and mortar or food processor and grind to a paste. If using a food processor or blender you might need to add a drop of water or vinegar to make blending easier. If the paste is looking watery, just strain it out. Pour the thick paste into a clean jar that has a tight fitting lid and bring it out whenever you want a good spicy kick.
