with roasted bell pepper and curried rice
Harira is a dish that hails from Northern Africa—Morocco and Algeria to be more specific. The recipe usually includes lentils, spices and some sort of meat, however, in this veggie version, added taste and texture comes in the form of charred bell pepper.

- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and half the curry powder and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover with the lid and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
- Pop the pepper onto a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with a little oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 15-18 mins.
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the onion until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Stir in the cumin, harissa spice mix, half a sachet of cinnamon (per 2P), drained lentils and remaining curry powder.
- Add the passata, 100ml water (per 2P) and ¼ tsp salt (per 2P). Cover and simmer for 6-8 mins.
- Once everything is ready, stir the cranberry chutney and half the roasted pepper through the harira.
- Add a splash of water to loosen the stew if required.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Fluff up the fragrant rice with a fork and divide between plates.
- Serve the flavorful harira alongside.
- Crumble over the Greek-style cheese and scatter over the remaining roasted pepper.
- Finish with a sprinkling of chopped coriander.
