Cod With Harissa Butter and Lemon
This quick and kicky weeknight meal comes together in just 15 minutes and requires minimal ingredients. Cod fillets are cooked with a rich harissa butter, which adds a nice glossiness, while harissa’s heat infuses the fish with bold, aromatic flavors. Light yet satisfying, this one-pan dish is easy to pair with a variety of sides, though bread is ideal for soaking up the glossy sauce. Select a harissa paste and butter that you know you like; they will make all the difference in this simple recipe.
Ras el Hanout Chickpea and Spinach Stew
This warming one-pot stew delivers the depth and comfort of a long-simmered meal in a fraction of the time. Chickpeas and spinach braise in a richly spiced tomato base, creating layers of warmth and complexity. Ras el hanout, a fragrant Moroccan spice blend, gives the dish its signature aromatic depth; gently toasted tomato paste intensifies its flavor even further. A splash of soy sauce provides an unexpected but welcome hit of umami, rounding out the dish with a richness that mimics a stew that's been bubbling away for hours. Served with a generous spoonful of yogurt (or a squeeze of lemon) and a drizzle of harissa oil to cut through the richness, it's perfect with crusty bread or spooned over grains like rice, barley, bulgur or quinoa.
Baked Salmon With Harissa and Cherry Tomatoes
This easy salmon tray bake packs a real punch thanks to the flavorful marinade it cooks in. The soy sauce is a bit of a non-Middle Eastern wild card, but contributes a welcome umami flavor. Tunisian harissa adds a nice subtle spice to this dish, but you can also swap it out for biber salçasi, a Turkish red pepper paste that you can find in most Turkish or Middle Eastern grocery stores. Like harissa, biber salçasi comes in both mild and hot varieties, so pick whichever one suits you. Serve the salmon with some steamed rice and lightly dressed greens if you like.
