Notes
No harissa? Try curry paste, chipotle paste, or 1 tsp smoked paprika + ½ tsp cumin + ½ tsp chilli powder as a substitute.
Make it creamy: Stir in a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or coconut milk at the end for a rich, creamy finish.
Leftovers: This dish freezes well – cool completely before freezing in portions.
