Method
- Heat/light the barbecue and spread the coals in an even layer. Rub the cauliflower all over with the harissa, season with salt and pepper, then put on the barbecue with the onion wedges. Shut the lid and cook for 20-30 minutes, turning, until the vegetables are charred and tender.
- Meanwhile, put the crème fraîche, avocado, herbs, capers, lemon juice, anchovies (if using), some salt and a grind of black pepper in a mini processor or blender and whizz to make a green sauce.
- Serve the warmed couscous on 2-3 plates (or on a platter) with the cauliflower and the onions. Drizzle the green sauce over the top and add a handful of salad leaves.
