GREEN HARISSA

I find it great with lamb chops, my BBQ butterflied leg of lamb, chicken, and vegetarian dishes and as a flavor base for any casseroles or stews where a fresh zing is needed. Especially good cooked with a vegetable bake and in guacamole.

BLISTERED GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES WITH HONEY, HARISSA AND MINT



Blistered Green Beans and Tomatoes With Honey, Harissa and Mint image

It's worth seeking out a well-seasoned cast-iron pan for this recipe as the heat will evenly distribute throughout the surface area helping to ensure beautifully charred, but tender vegetables. Smoky, earthy harissa is given a lift with the addition of honey and lime juice, which is tossed with the green beans and tomatoes and some butter to melt at the end of cooking. Serve with grilled sausages for a fast and flavorful summer meal.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons harissa
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound green beans, trimmed
10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint
Flaky salt for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine harissa, honey and lime juice. Stir together until combined and season to taste with salt.
  • In large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans and cook undisturbed until they began to char in spots, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, tossing frequently, until beans are just cooked through and slightly blistered and browned in spots, about 5 to 6 minutes more. Some beans will be more cooked than others - that's O.K. Season with salt and place beans in a bowl.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in the skillet. Add tomatoes and cook undisturbed until they also begin to char in spots, about 1 minute. Stir tomatoes frequently until they are just cooked through and some begin to burst, about 2 minutes more. They do not need to be totally cooked through. Season with salt.
  • Remove skillet from heat and add green beans. Add harissa mixture and butter and toss until everything is combined and butter is melted. Add in half of the mint and stir again. Spoon into a large bowl and scatter with remaining mint. Garnish with flaky salt, if using.

GRILLED GREEN BEANS WITH HARISSA



Grilled Green Beans With Harissa image

From Ted Allen's In My Kitchen. His notes are: A quick toss in a vinaigrette spiked with spicy North African chile paste, aka harissa, really livens things up; in a pinch, you could use the same amount of Sriracha, or just Tabasco with a chopped garlic clove. Or, if you prefer, skip the heat-these are still really good.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb green beans, trimmed
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon harissa

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or large grill pan to high.
  • Prepare a large bowl of ice water; set aside. Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Season the water generously with salt. Add the beans and blanch until just crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Drain, and plunge the beans into the ice water for 2 minutes to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and pat dry with kitchen towels.
  • Put the beans in a large bowl and toss with the vegetable oil. Using tongs, arrange in a single layer on the grill and cook until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, harissa, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the warm beans, toss, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose tender, young green beans for optimal taste and texture.
  • Trim the beans by removing the ends and any tough strings.
  • For a more vibrant color, blanch the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes before roasting.

  • Toss the green beans with olive oil, harissa paste, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them get evenly coated and flavorful.
  • Roast the green beans at a high temperature (425°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • For extra crispy green beans, roast them for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the green beans immediately as a side dish or as a snack.
