Garlic And Herb Roasted Vegetables With Harissa Yogurt

Garlic And Herb Roasted Vegetables With Harissa Yogurt

As a small child my mother would cook great terracotta pots stuffed with vegetables, carrots, courgettes, potatoes, onions and aubergines.  It was a simple dish, flavoured with herbs, carefully scavenged when on holiday in France and each delicately seasoned with a single precious clove of garlic, gently cooked in a little olive oil which at that time could only be bought at the chemist for medicinal purposes. These wide bellied pots had tiny lids on their narrow necks and would slow cook over a very low flame, that smell of the vegetables gently roasting in their terracotta protection is a resounding memory.  This recipe for Garlic and herb roasted vegetables is based on that original dish but cooked in the oven and a little more generous with both the garlic and olive oil. Rather than slow cooked as the original, this takes just 35-45minutes to cook. It’s is a dish that stands on its own or can be part of a spread with Harissa chicken and chorizo and Sumac roasted chickpea and pine nut salad with tomatoes. I’ve accompanied this with a harissa yogurt for a little spice to contrast with the sweetness of the veg.

Spicy Harissa Yogurt

This dish can be made with pretty much any robust vegetables that you have in the fridge.  By robust, peas, sugar snaps etc won’t fare well in the oven, but any root veg, cauliflower, broccoli or sweetcorn (quartered on the cob) are all fine.  Don’t cut things too small as they shrink in the cooking and if they are bigger pieces they stay moist whilst cooking. If some of your veg seems to cook faster than the rest, take those bits out and keep them warm until the rest is done.  This is easier if you’ve left the veg cut slightly bigger.

  7. Place all the vegetables on a roasting tin and sprinkle over the Zaatar, pour over the oilve oil and toss to cover all the veg.
  8. Tuck the garlic into the vegetables and roast in the oven for 35-40 mins until the veg is cooked but still has some resistance.
  9. Meanwhile, stir the harissa into the yogurt and set aside.
  10. Once the veg is cooked scatter with the radishes and drizzle over the yogurt dressing and serve or place in a separate bowl for everyone to serve themselves.

    That sounds like my sort of food – simple but so delicious. Lovely to hear your mum had a tagine long before they became so fashionable. Or maybe it’s the sort of thing that comes in waves. Love that plate too GG – gorgeous..
