Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a half-full kettle. Rinse the brown rice in a sieve.
Pour the boiled water (2p: 375ml / 4p: 750ml) into a medium saucepan with 1/4 tsp of salt, and bring back to the boil on high heat. Add the brown rice, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 20-25 mins. Drain in a sieve.
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Place the pepper onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 18-20 mins.
While the peppers char, halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the flesh in one piece, then thinly slice. Season with salt and pepper.
Juice the lemon. Trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.
Drain the tofu and cut into 2cm cubes. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
Heat a large frying pan on high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Remove from the heat, add the chermoula spice mix and turn to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the harissa, sun-dried tomato paste, half the lemon juice and sugar (2p: 1/2 tsp / 4p: 1 tsp). Season with salt and pepper.
Share the brown basmati rice between your bowls.
To create your earth bowl, top with the carrot ribbons, smoked Tofoo, charred pepper and sliced avocado.
Pour the remaining lemon juice over the carrot ribbons.
Drizzle the harissa dressing over everything, then sprinkle over the black sesame seeds to finish.
