Notes

What to Serve with Harissa Baked Feta and Beans

One of my favourite ways to eat this dish is with a big slice of crusty bread. It also works beautifully served with:
  • toasted flatbreads
  • warm pita
  • couscous
  • simple rice
Because the beans themselves are filling, it can easily be served as a complete meal.

Storage and Reheating

Leftovers keep very well in the fridge for up to three days.
Store in an airtight container and reheat gently on the hob or in the microwave until hot all the way through.
The flavours actually deepen overnight, so the dish can taste even better the next day.
