This Moroccan Style Nourish Bowl is so delicious with its warm flavor and spicy dressing. It’s so easy to put together and has minimal dishes, which is perfect for a feel-good midweek dinner! The oven does most of the work, and then you just have to rehydrate the couscous by adding boiling water to it. And if you don’t have a small blender on hand (or don’t want to do extra dishes!), you can mince the garlic and whisk the dressing together in a bowl using a fork. Seriously, the ratio of effort to taste here is quite incredible!
To make it gluten-free, swap the couscous for quinoa.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Combine the chickpeas, cauliflower, carrots, capsicum, olive oil, and spices onto a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes.
Combine the couscous with the raisins. Rehydrate by pouring boiling water and keep covered as per the packet instructions. Massage the kale with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice, and add to a bowl along with the baked veggies and couscous once prepared.
Blend the creamy harissa sauce and drizzle on top of the entire bowl and top with almonds, fresh mint, and a dash of salt, and enjoy!

Is the Harris’s ground as a spice or in a jar?
We used harissa paste, I’ve updated the recipe card to clarify 🙂
Made it tonight, and we loved it! Added some diced dried figs to the couscous since I had them. Made 8 servings and had to use a little more olive oil and spices. Roasted vegetables came out perfectly crisp tender. Tasted delicious and was hearty and filling. Thanks for the great recipe.
I’m so happy you liked it! Dried figs sounds like a delicious addition, I’ll have to try that next 🙂
Looks amazing. I especially like the harissa sauce.
Thanks Sandy, let me know if you give it a go! It’s so good 🥰
