Harissa Cauliflower Hummus With Caramelised Shallots

A mix of chickpeas and gungo split peas gave such a creamy and rich consistency, blended with tahini, garlic, lemon, cayenne, paprika and olive oil.  The cauliflower is coated in the harissa paste and roasted in the oven until charred. It’s topped with caramelised shallots and finished with a sprinkle of za’atar.. just beautiful.
