    Another super yummy dish from Mia! She posted this earlier, and we already had almost all the ingredients so we made it tonight for dinner (we substituted hummus for yogurt because that was the only ingredient we didn’t have). It was incredibly easy and so flavorful! A little spicy from the harissa but not overpowering at all! We served it with a mix of rice, quinoa, and lentils and had it as our whole dinner and it was plenty filling for both my husband and me. Another Gathered Nutrition recipe I’d highly recommend!

      Thank you so much Katherine! This makes me so happy to hear!!! Love how you served it, too! 🙂

  2. Leah says:

    I have only a dry harissa spice mix. How should I modify that to work in this recipe?

  3. Ashley says:

    Phenomenal! Made this tonight, followed instructions exactly, and it was a huge hit. Perfect! Thanks for the exceptional recipe!

  4. LindaO says:

    Yes, Exceptional recipe! Made it as written. It was very satisfying and delicious. Made my own chili oil with chopped Calabrian peppers. It was surprisingly very filling. I appreciated the simplicity of it.

  5. Anne says:

    This is absolutely delicious! I could not find harisa paste at our supermarket, so I used gochujang as a substitute. So good and an amazing complexity of flavors! Also, so good for us plus a bonus-my husband loved it. Thank you!!

  6. Michael Haines says:

    I’m a diabetic struggling with finding “new” healthy meals. I’ve been on this journey since 2017. This recipe was the best dish I’ve enjoyed in 9 years. Thank you for making it available.

    I didn’t make any changes and this was so delicious. I could eat it as a stand alone dish.
