Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the oil, harissa paste or tomato paste in a small bowl with ½ tsp salt and mix. Tip the cauliflower onto a baking tray and drizzle over the harissa mixture. Using your hands, toss to coat well and roast in the oven for 30-35 mins, stirring halfway, until deep golden brown and tender.
step 2
To make the rice, heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to pop, stir in the onion and chilli and cook for 6-8 mins until lightly golden. Add the garlic and spices, cooking for 2 mins before adding the coriander, cooked rice, roasted cauliflower and ½ tsp salt. Mix it all well and cook on a high heat for a minute. Serve with a sprinkle of coriander leaves and a wedge of lime to squeeze over.
