How To Make grilled green beans with harissa

Step 1

Steam the green beans briefly-about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat a grill or large grill pan to high.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 5

Arrange the grilled green beans on a serving platter.
Step 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.
