Author Notes

Inspired by Saveur's chicken kebabs (http://www.saveur.com/article...), I created a soul-satisfying meatless version.

I ate mine with some garlic soup and a green salad with pomegranate vinaigrette. I plan on stuffing the leftovers in some pita with baba ghanoush alongside some Moroccan style carrots.

You can find harissa at Trader Joe's, well-stocked grocery stores, and middle eastern grocery stores. Or make your own!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons dried mint
  • 2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons harissa
  • some red pepper flakes (optional, depending on your spice tolerance and the heat of your harissa - taste first!)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 head cauliflower, in florets
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Mix together everything but the cauliflower in a large bowl and adjust seasonings to taste. Add in the cauliflower and make sure all of the pieces are thoroughly coated. Set aside for about 30 minutes.
