Mussels, White Beans, Tomatoes and Harissa
This quick and easy dish is so much more than the sum of its parts. It gets serious depth of flavour from a splash of fish sauce and dollop of harissa... paste. We use white beans that are similar in shape and size to the cooked mussels, so you can use the shells to scoop them up. Though it requires a large amount of fresh tomatoes which can be expensive, we developed this dish using a large punnet of ‘yellow label’ discounted tomatoes that were bruised but perfect for cooking with. Good quality tinned tomatoes can be used as a substitute. Read more This quick and easy dish is so much more than the sum of its parts.

Notes
To prepare your mussels place into a large bowl and cover with cold water. They should all close. Remove them one by one, removing their beards as you go and discarding any that don’t close.

We have made this on more than one occasion and love it!
Recipe doesn’t say to cover the tomatoes. Needs more harissa. Medium/high is too fierce for frying shallots.
