A staple of North African and Middle Eastern cooking, harissa is a hot pepper sauce that's great on almost anything! Plus, it's made from healthy ingredients -- including olive oil, chile peppers, and garlic.
Harissa paste is one of the many low-carb basics I make at home. This popular North African spice blend adds fantastic flavour to vegetables and meats. I like using it for marinating chicken, spicing up cauli-rice, or even mixing it with olive oil or full-fat yogurt and use as keto friendly salad dressing.
This whole roasted harissa cauliflower is a colourful keto vegetarian dish packed full of flavour. Serve as a main or side dish. In a small bowl, add the harissa, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well. Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and trim the base of the cauliflower so it will stand upright.
There is no one way to make Harissa and you can control the heat by using different chilies and spices. I make mine with mild, smoky chilies, toasted spices, garlic, lemon, olive oil, roasted bell peppers and a few sun-dried tomatoes that will add sweetness.
