I’m really on board with the whole dinner ‘bowl’ idea. All you need to do is take a bowl and fill it with gorgeous colours and flavours.
The couscous bowl with Harissa chicken is just a bowlful of deliciousness. A bed of couscous tossed with roast vegetables and roughly chopped herbs topped with oven baked Harissa chicken and delicious lemon and coriander yogurt dressing. Simple food that tastes amazing.
