Harissa Roasted Cauliflower & Turmeric Rice

Really loved this recip, is easy and quik to cook, and soo delicious

Delicious. Easy to make.

Love it

I only made the rice and sauce (I had a purple cauliflower and didn't want to change the colour so I baked it on the side but didn't put harissa on it), I think it's going to become a staple in our house, we already made the sauce again to eat with snacks 😸

Hi! Is harissa sauce different from harissa paste? I have the paste. Can I use that?🤔

Hi there, Serena, harissa sauce and paste are quite similar, with the paste being a concentrated form of the sauce. You can use harissa paste as a substitute in recipes calling for harissa sauce, just adjust the quantity to taste and possibly thin out with water if needed. Enjoy 🤗

This is soooo yummy and the yoghurt sauce really elevates the dish. I cooked 1/2 cup red lentils with the rice to add protein and replaced harissa with smoked paprika and a bit of cumin to make it less spice / more kid friendly. Will make it again ☺️

The recipe is delicious and the perfect way to use the leftover cauliflower. It's a staple dish in our house and it goes really well with PUL tofu Tikka masala

So easy to make and so tasty! Pomegranates are in season and this was the perfect recipe to pair with it. Based on other people’s feedback, I also added chickpeas for some protein and it was delicious!

Brilliant dish. Inspired by another reader, I tossed some chickpeas in the bowl that had seasoned the cauliflower, added some oil and then put them in the air fryer for 15mins at 190°. I'm looking forward to using non frozen pomegranate seeds and coriander next time.
What would the amounts be if I were to use Natur basmati rice and how long would I then cook it for?

It means so much that the recipe was enjoyed, Phillipa, thank you! Is Natur a brand of basmati rice? We imagine the proportions would be the same if so. It's best to double-check the package in case they recommend different cooking instructions though☺️

Sorry, it's whole grain rice in German. I couldn't remember if it translated 🤦🏻‍♀️.
It takes longer to cook so I'll experiment with the timings and add more water.

My husband is a picky eater and he loved this receipt. Not only was it easy to make but it’s now a staple dish in our household. 😋

I have kiddos that don’t eat spicy so I had to omit the harissa but used paprika powder for the similar color. I quinoa instead of rice and fresh mint instead of dried cause it’s just what I had and all in with with these changes, I loved it!! Such a versatile dish!! Pomegranate seeds gave it the perfect touch

Yayy we're so thrilled the recipe was enjoyed with the modifications, Gladys! Thank you 🤗

Good substitute for pomegranate here was raisins

What a banger of a dish, this! I couldn’t get enough of the yoghurt or the rice or the cauliflower- I guess what I’m trying to say is that everything about this recipe is perfect. A must-try for everyone who already haven’t. Simple, delicious and leaves you and your guests wanting for more.

Woowww, this is incredible! Every bite has so much going on. I did double the harissa because we had a big cauliflower and like heat! Can’t wait to make this again.

Sounds lovely, Linda, thanks for sharing your experience with it!

This is so good! The balance of spice and the yogurt sauce that tastes like tzatziki that took hours, is phenomenal!

Thank you for the great recipe! We added some chickpeas for extra protein and used fresh instead of dried mint and this is now one of our new weekday favourites. So easy to make and incredibly delicious and flavourful ☺️
