HARISSA CARROTS, CRISPY CHICKPEAS & TOFU RICOTTA

Small plates are my favourite way to devour dinner I've decided. And what a gorgeous small plate this is! Harissa roasted carrots, crispy chickpeas and lemony tofu ricotta, finished with a glorious drizzle of harissa dressing.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 carrots sliced
  • 3 tbsp harissa paste
  • olive oil
  • 400 g can chickpeas drained & rinsed
  • 200 g extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • to serve: chopped dill

DRESSING

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°c (fan assisted|)/375°f/gas 5.
  2. Start by roasting the carrots. Combine the sliced carrots, harissa paste, a good glug of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Use your hands to give everything a mix and rub the harissa into the carrots, then arrange the slices between two baking trays. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred on the edges.

  3. Roughly dry the chickpeas with a tea towel, then combine with a glug of olive oil and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Pour out onto another baking tray and roast alongside the carrots for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.

  4. Meanwhile, make the tofu ricotta. Combine the tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, 1 tbsp of water and a good pinch of salt in a food processor. Blitz until you have a thick creamy consistency, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

  5. To make the harissa dressing, combine the extra virgin olive oil, harissa paste, lemon juice and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a small jug. Stir well, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

  6. Spread the tofu ricotta over the base of a serving plate. Arrange the harissa carrots and crispy chickpeas on top, then drizzle over the dressing. Finish with a sprinkling of dill and a good crack of black pepper.

I have plenty more small plates up my sleeve! Check out my Herby Marinated Cauliflower & Tofu Ricotta.
