Harissa paste

Glistening chunks of ruby red Harissa-spiced lamb sit atop a bed of sautéed kohlrabi and artichoke, their crisp textures enhanced by a light golden sear. A generous drizzle of cool, white cucumber mint raita adds a contrast in both color and temperature. A sprinkle of mint and a few lemon wedges on the side of the gray stoneware plate create a visually appealing dish with a modern rustic aesthetic.
