HARISSA VEGGIE BOWL

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today my friend Sarah Curry from Dishin’ It Out is teaching us how to make a delicious Harissa Veggie Bowl and sharing her amazing recipe. Be sure to head over to her blog, give her a shout out, and let her know how much you love her veggie bowl recipe! Take it away, Sarah!

Hey, guys! My name’s Sarah and I moved from Los Angeles to the UK 11 months ago. It’s not exactly as cool as it sounds. Unless you like sheep. If you like sheep then it is very, VERY cool. I live in a village in Northern Ireland with no stoplights, a postman that tells me way too much about my neighbors, a corner shop whose produce section is limited to overripe bananas. The talk of the town is that we are getting a gas station. Think Mayberry with an accent.

I have to admit it has crept its way into my heart – the undulating landscape, the lush green patched with golden barley fields, the welcoming nature of the people. I’ve even been endeared to my overly-informative postman (by the way, my next-door neighbor has been getting some strange wee packages as of late and the lady down the road has been on a mail order shopping binge). But BOY, do I miss the restaurant scene in LA. On a hunger-driven whim you could get ethiopian, malaysian, thai, armenian, el salvadorian, oaxacan, or sushi. The only ethnic food you will find here is Chinese takeaway. Did I mention they serve it over fries? Exactly. So, into the kitchen I march, realizing if I want to taste it, I have to make it.

One of the ingredients I’ve been putting on practically everything lately is harissa- guys…HARISSA. It has a spicy burn that hits just after aromatic interplay of the cumin, coridander, caraway, and mint. Otherwise boring soups, sandwiches, and chicken beg for the kick it gives. Think of it as the siracha of the North African world. The dish it graces today is a simple roasted harissa veggie bowl with a tahini dressing.

A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THE HARISSA VEGGIE BOWL:

Don’t be a slave to the vegetables that I have listed. If you have zucchini, broccoli, and sweet potato- go for it! Also- you can do amazing things with these leftovers- an egg scramble the morning after, with avocado in a wrap to take to work, just straight out off the pan as you are cleaning up after…lots of options!
