Directions
If using the dried chiles, soak them in a cup of hot water for 1 hour, then drain.
Pound or mince the chiles, garlic and salt into a paste.
Mix all or some of this paste, according to the degree of hotness desired, with the broth, and serve hot, garnished with the cilantro.
Aromatic Broth: Put the chicken parts, turkey neck and giblets, butter, onions, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns and cloves into a heavy pan.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Before the mixture begins to brown, add the remaining ingredients (except chopped cilantro).
Cover and simmer for 1 hour, skimming off as much fat as possible.
Raise the heat to medium and let the broth cook, uncovered, for 1 hour.
The broth should reduce to about 7 cups during this time.
Season with salt and remove from heat.
Remove the pieces of chicken and discard.
Strain the broth through a large sieve set over a large bowl, pressing against the vegetables.
Set aside 3 cups broth to make the harissa sauce.
Serve the remainder, piping hot, garnished with cilantro.
