Grilled Green Beans With Harissa Recipes

GRILLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Combine green beans, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a bowl; toss to coat. Allow green beans to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Arrange green beans on a grill pan.
• Place grill pan on preheated grill; cook and stir green beans until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.

GRILLED GREEN BEANS WITH HARISSA

Steps:

• 1. Steam the green beans briefly-about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
• 2. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or large grill pan to high.
• 3. Place the steamed green beans in a large prep bowl and toss with the vegetable oil. Using tongs, arrange the beans in a [single layer] on the grill and cook until lightly charred, about 3-5 minutes.
• 4. In a small, non-reactive prep bowl whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, harissa (to taste) and salt. Note: I added 2 teaspoons of harissa.
• 5. Arrange the grilled green beans on a serving platter.
• 6. Pour the vinaigrette over the green beans. Serve warm or at room temperature. A garnish of fresh parsley (or cilantro) and/or crispy shallots would not be out of place.

SLOW-COOKED GREEN BEANS WITH HARISSA AND CUMIN

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Toss green beans, garlic, oil, harissa, cumin seeds, and salt in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish to combine.
• Turn garlic cut side down, then roast vegetables, tossing 2 or 3 times, until golden brown and very tender, 60-70 minutes. Let cool slightly, then add vinegar and toss to coat.

BLISTERED GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES WITH HONEY, HARISSA AND MINT

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.

HARISSA-ROASTED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss green beans with oil and harissa until coated; season with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking pan once halfway through, until beans are browned in spots, 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds before serving.

GRILLED GREEN BEANS WITH 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.
