This Copycat True Food Kitchen Tahini Harissa Cauliflower side dish was inspired by the Charred Cauliflower starter from True Food Kitchen! My version adds broccoli and swaps out the pistachios for toasted pumpkin seeds! The tahini harissa sauce is easy to make at home with a few simple spices, and of course garnish with lots of fresh dill! Gluten-free, vegan, nut-free. —Healthy Little Vittles | Gina Fontana

For the Tahini Harissa Sauce - I don't see harissa listed in the ingredients. How much should I use?

Hi Tina! I could see how that would be confusing, I “made my own” harissa seasoning in case it’s hard to find with the combination of the paprika, chili powder, cumin and coriander. If you prefer you can just use 2-3 teaspoons of pre-mixed harissa seasoning, but then omit the paprika, chili powder, cumin, and coriander from the recipe. Hope this helps! And I hope you like it!

I thought that might be the case after I posted the comment. Thank you for clarifying and I look forward to making this dish!
