Harissa Beans

Servings: 2

Ingredients: 

1/2 onion, diced 

4  garlic cloves, minced 

1 Tbsp olive oil 

1 Tbsp harissa paste 

1 Tbsp tomato paste 

1 can of butter beans or white beans of choice (15 oz) 

1 roasted red bell pepper

1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes (15oz) 

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1/2 cup of coconut cream 

1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika 

Salt & Pepper 

Directions: 

Add roasted red peppers and fire-roasted tomatoes to a blender or food processor. Pulse until chunky, not smooth. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil for a few minutes until fragrant. Add tomato paste, harissa paste, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir pastes and spices together and warm through. Add the roasted red pepper tomato mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer and reduce the liquid for about 20 minutes. Add butter beans and coconut cream. Heat through about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice just before serving, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve as is, with cauliflower rice, or a scoop of dairy-free yogurt on top.
