Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 dried New Mexico chiles (about 1 ounce)
4 dried guajillo chiles (about 1 ounce)
2 cups boiling water
1/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for roasting
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large head cauliflower, cut into 2-inch florets (about 8 cups)
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves

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.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cauliflower was not roasted evenly, and the harissa marinade was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The cauliflower was roasted to perfection, and the harissa marinade added a nice flavor. I would recommend using a milder harissa paste if you don't like spicy food.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook cauliflower, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The harissa marinade adds a nice depth of flavor, and the roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the cauliflower. I served it with a side of quinoa,
