We received about four pounds of green beans in our CSA box. Thanks to this recipe one quarter of my current green bean situation has been resolved. From foodrepublic.com

Ingredients For grilled green beans with harissa

  • 1 lb
    green beans, trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp
    safflower oil (or most any oil that can tolerate high heat)
  • 1 Tbsp
    red wine vinegar (white balsamic, apple cider vinegar will work as well)
  • 1 stick
    extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp
    harissa, to taste (homemade is best!)
  • pinch
    salt

How To Make grilled green beans with harissa

  • 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.
