I have used asparagus, but flat beans or broccolini are equally delicious to use as a scooper to enjoy this tasty dip. Mashing the beans with a fork is quick and effective in the great outdoors. No fancy gadgets required.
GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH HARISSA BEANS
Serves 6
Beans
420g tin butter beans
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp harissa
2 tsp lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp cold water
Salt and pepper to taste
Dressing
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp harissa
3 bunches asparagus
- Drain the beans and place in a bowl. Add the garlic, harissa, zest, juice and water, then mash (a little chunky is great).
- For the dressing combine the oil, lemon juice and harissa in a jar.
- Break the ends from the asparagus. Toss in a little oil and chargrill on your fire or barbecue until cooked through.
- Serve the asparagus warm with the dip alongside and drizzle of dressing.
