If you like rich and spicy, you're going to love this tasty vegetarian dish. The fresh, bold flavors of shallots, serrano chili, and harissa paste pair perfectly with the sweet carrots and peppery arugula. Served with hearty lentils for extra fiber and protein, this satisfying meal is completely vegan on its own, but you can add a hard-boiled egg or left-over cooked chicken for extra protein.
