COUSCOUS WITH TOMATOES, CAULIFLOWER, RED PEPPERS AND OLIVES



Couscous With Tomatoes, Cauliflower, Red Peppers and Olives image

Cauliflower is one of the few cruciferous vegetables you find in North African tagines. The spicy tagines make a good vehicle for this nutrient-rich food and are one of the few types of dishes in which cauliflower can be cooked until quite soft and not lose its appeal.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 to 4 large garlic cloves (to taste), minced

1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more to taste)
1 pound ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped, or 1 14-ounce can with juice

A bouquet garni consisting of 3 sprigs each parsley and mint
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 to 3 teaspoons harissa (more to taste), plus additional for serving
