Harissa Carrots And Cauliflower Recipes

MOROCCAN HARISSA ROAST CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Tear open the New Mexico and guajillo chiles and discard the seeds and stems. (You may leave the seeds in if you prefer a spicy harissa.) Tear the chiles into large pieces and place them in a medium bowl. Pour 2 cups boiling water over the chiles and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes.
• Put the coriander and cumin seeds in a small skillet and cook, swirling often, over medium heat, until the seeds are fragrant and lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the spices to a blender and add the oil, garlic, lemon juice and 2 teaspoons kosher salt, then puree until smooth. Using tongs, add the chiles to the blender along with 1/2 cup of their soaking liquid (discard the rest) and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes on high. Season the harissa with pepper and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with 3/4 cup of the harissa until each floret is evenly coated. Spread the cauliflower onto a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with a little more vegetable oil. Roast, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and the harissa has begun to caramelize, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup harissa on the side for dipping.

HARISSA CARROTS AND RANCH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. (See Cook's Note.)
• Put the carrots in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Place the carrots on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, harissa, cumin, garlic, lemon zest and black pepper in a small bowl. When the carrots are almost cooked, brush with the harissa glaze. Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving plate, then drizzle with additional harissa glaze. Follow with a drizzle of ranch dressing, then sprinkle on the pistachios and a pinch or two of flaky salt. Serve and enjoy!
