Harissa-Roasted Carrots, Fennel and New Potatoes with Couscous
Harissa—the North African chile paste that gives this vegetarian dinner its heat—varies greatly from brand to brand. Taste it before you add the vegetables to the marinade, and add more if it strikes you as too tame. For a richer dish, make a fast sauce with mayonnaise whisked with harissa, lemon juice and water and drizzle it over the vegetables and couscous just before serving. Slideshows: North African Dishes
