This indeed looks very healthy and a perfect summer meal. Do the leftovers keep well? I'm thinking this would be a nice dish to have for a couple of lunches for myself - something healthy that give me my protein and veggies, nutritionally balanced meal my trainer would be quite pleased with!

This sounds delicious. I'm planning on trying it.

I found this recipe for harissa. Do you think this is a good one?

Ingredients:
10-12 dried red chili peppers
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Preparation:
Soak the dried chilies in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain. Remove stems and seeds.

In a food processor combine chili peppers, garlic, salt and olive oil. Blend.

Add remaining spices and blend to form a smooth paste.

Store in airtight container. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top to keep fresh. Will keep for a month in the refrigerator.
