Harissa paste originates from Tunisia in North Africa and it’s made using chilli peppers with a blend of oil, garlic and spices. For this recipe we use rose harissa paste, which is less spicy and more fragrant.
- If you decide to use regular harissa paste, just be sure to reduce the amount of paste slightly unless you don’t mind the extra heat. You might also want to dilute the paste in a splash of oil because it can be quite thick.
- Make sure you use a gluten free rose harissa paste to make this recipe gluten-free.
- We use a quick-cook brown rice to speed up the cooking times. If you’re using regular brown rice, just be aware that it’ll take longer to cook.
- We use cooked puy lentils from a pouch, but you can also use one tin of brown or green lentils from a tin.

I assume by the picture that the rice goes on the bottom, but the recipe doesn’t say.
Also, can the tofu be replaced with yogurt (I understand that’s not vegan)?
Hey Melissa! We add the rice on top of the tofu sauce when plating up. Yes you can definitely use yoghurt – we’d recommend using a soy based or coconut based yoghurt if you want to keep it vegan friendly 🙂
