So delicious! We added a half of can of organic diced tomatoes and a little veggie broth because we were a little gun shy on the harissa (probably used a 1/4 c of harissa.) but won’t be guy shy next time. just delicious
So glad you liked it! I could see diced tomatoes being a tasty addition. Thanks for the tip – I added a measurement to the walnuts and harissa. 🙂
