Harissa Pork With Glazed Carrots And Couscous Food

HARISSA CARROTS AND RANCH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. (See Cook's Note.)
• Put the carrots in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Place the carrots on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, harissa, cumin, garlic, lemon zest and black pepper in a small bowl. When the carrots are almost cooked, brush with the harissa glaze. Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving plate, then drizzle with additional harissa glaze. Follow with a drizzle of ranch dressing, then sprinkle on the pistachios and a pinch or two of flaky salt. Serve and enjoy!

GRILLED CARROTS WITH HARISSA BUTTER

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds peeled small carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat, covered, turning, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon harissa, 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander and a pinch each of salt and pepper; toss with the carrots. Top with torn mint and flaky salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

HARISSA COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Tip couscous into a heatproof bowl. Add a spring onions, mint and cherry tomatoes.
• Pour over hot vegetable stock mixed with harissa. Stir and cover with a plate. Leave for 5 mins, then pour over olive oil and lemon juice and stir through.

HARISSA-SPICED ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Mix together harissa, thyme, lemon zest and juice, and vinegar for marinade.
• Mix salt, paprika, and pepper for dry rub. Stir 1 tablespoon dry rub into marinade. Place pork, skin side down, in a large roasting pan; pour marinade over pork. Flip pork; with a sharp knife, score skin (but not meat) in a diamond pattern at 1/2-inch intervals. Pat remaining dry rub over skin. Cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before roasting, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cover pan with parchment-lined foil, and roast pork until fork-tender, about 5 hours. Remove foil from pan, and roast 30 minutes more. Raise temperature to 425 degrees, and roast until skin is deep brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with foil. Let rest 45 minutes before carving. Serve with harissa-spice barbecue sauce.
