Harissa Mushrooms & Butter Bean Mash
I first came across butter bean mash as an alternative bangers and mash combo. Mashed by hand it has a slightly chewy texture when compared to potato (which I quite like) but a quick whizz in a food processor creates a wonderfully smooth, creamy mash. The pairing here with spicy vegetables elevates it to a whole new level.
When I was experimenting with this dish I tried a version which used strips of aubergine rather than mushroom. That worked well too – so if fungi aren’t your thing feel free to switch with a medium aubergine. I’m sticking with the mushrooms because this blog already has a heavy bias towards aubergine. Mushrooms also make for an easier alternative if you are looking for food for one
