Roasted Tomatoes with Rose Harissa Yogurt

Fragrant, smoky, and with just the right kick of heat, Rose Harissa is the secret to elevating any dish. This North African-inspired spice blend combines chili, cumin, and coriander with floral notes of rose, creating a beautifully complex flavor. In this dish, it adds warmth and depth to creamy Greek yogurt, perfectly balancing the natural sweetness of slow-roasted cherry tomatoes.

This dish is a feast of contrasts - warm meets cool, sweet meets spicy, creamy meets caramelized. Juicy roasted tomatoes rest on a silky bed of Rose Harissa yogurt, creating an irresistible combination of textures and tastes.
Serve it with grilled fish, meat, or vegetables, or enjoy it as a standalone dish with crisp greens and warm sourdough.
However you serve it, one thing’s for sure - it’ll disappear fast!

Roasted Tomatoes:
400 g cherry tomatoes
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp brown sugar
½ lemon (zest and juice)
4 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Rose Harissa Yogurt:
5 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tsp Rose Harissa

Toppings:
A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp toasted almonds
A sprinkle of Rose Harissa
Sourdough bread for dipping

Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F (fan).

Place the cherry tomatoes in an ovenproof dish. In a small bowl, mix cumin, oregano, brown sugar, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the tomatoes, tossing to coat them evenly.

Roast the tomatoes for 45 minutes at 180°C (350°F), then switch to the grill function and bake for another 5–8 minutes until slightly caramelized.

While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the yogurt and toppings. Stir the Greek yogurt with Rose Harissa and keep it chilled until serving.

Toast the almonds in a dry pan until golden, then roughly chop the parsley.

To serve, spread the yogurt onto a serving dish, arrange the roasted tomatoes on top, and drizzle any leftover oil from the baking dish over them. Finish with fresh parsley, toasted almonds, and a sprinkle of Rose Harissa. Serve with warm, crusty sourdough.

Enjoy!
