Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower 800g
  • 3 mixed-colour peppers
  • 400 g ripe tomatoes
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 2 heaped tablespoons rose harissa
  • 300 g couscous
  • 1 bunch of mint 30g
  • 8 tablespoons natural yoghurt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Click off and discard only the tatty outer leaves from the cauliflower, then cut it into quarters.
  • Quarter the peppers and halve the tomatoes, removing and discarding the seeds.
  • Break the unpeeled garlic bulb into cloves.
  • Mix it all in a large sturdy roasting tray with 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and red wine vinegar, the harissa, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and a good splash of water.
  • Cover the tray tightly with tin foil, put it on a medium heat on the hob, and when it starts to sizzle, transfer it to the oven for 40 minutes.
  • Get the tray out of the oven, remove the foil, tilt the tray and spoon all the delicious juices into a little jug for later.
  • Return the tray to the oven for 20 minutes, to get golden.
  • Place the couscous in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then just cover with boiling kettle water, and cover.
  • Pick most of the mint leaves into a blender, blitz with 6 tablespoons of yoghurt until smooth, then ripple it back through the remaining yoghurt.
  • Fluff up the couscous.
  • Warm the reserved juices.
  • Squeeze the soft garlic out of the skin.
  • Serve it all together, sprinkled with mint leaves.
