Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a large roasting tray with baking parchment. Place the red cabbage wedges onto the tray, then drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil and all of the harissa. Season generously. Use your hands to massage the oil and harissa into the cabbage. Cover the tray with foil, then bake for 50 mins-1 hr, taking the foil off halfway through.
  2. Step 2

    At the same time, prepare the bulgur wheat according to the package directions. Mix in the remaining 1 tbsp of oil, most of the coriander, the almonds, and raisins (if using). Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. Step 3

    Combine the yogurt with lime zest and juice, the remaining coriander, and a bit of seasoning. Split the bulgur into two bowls, add the roasted cabbage on top, and drizzle the yogurt mixture over.

Perfectly roasted red cabbage wedges coated with spicy rose harissa create a tantalizing aroma and a stunning centerpiece for your plate.

Main Flavors and Ingredients

The star of this recipe is the red cabbage, naturally rich in vitamins C and K. When roasted, it becomes tender with a lovely charred edge that complements the bold, smoky-sweet notes of rose harissa. Drizzled with olive oil, these flavors intensify, creating an irresistible combination. Paired with these are coriander and toasted flaked almonds, which add a refreshing bite and a subtle nuttiness to the dish.

Health Benefits

This dish is not only a feast for the senses but also nutritionally beneficial. Bulgur wheat is a high-fiber, low-fat grain providing a healthy base and sustained energy. The addition of golden raisins (if you choose to add them) introduces a touch of natural sweetness and extra antioxidants. Garnished with low-fat natural yogurt and a splash of lime juice, the dish offers a zesty creaminess that balances the heat from the harissa.

Serving Ideas and Variations

This dish is versatile enough to be served as a light lunch or a hearty dinner for two. For those seeking a vegan version, the yogurt can be easily replaced with a plant-based alternative. If you prefer a gluten-free meal, substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice for the bulgur wheat. Enhance your meal by serving it alongside grilled chicken or fish for added protein or keep it light with a side of roasted root vegetables.
