    Place a Le Creuset frying pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil and allow to heat up. Fry off the onion. Once translucent, add the garlic and fry for two minutes. Add the tin of tomatoes. Stir through the harissa seasoning. Allow to reduce until thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the beans to heat through just before serving.

    Just before serving, place a Le Creuset 26cm Signature Square Skillet Grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Fry on the grill on both sides until you achieve griddle lines. Place the garlic, harissa, lime juice, parsley, salt, and pepper into the softened butter and stir to mix thoroughly. Place a dollop of the butter in the centre of each mushroom and place into the oven for 10 – 15 minutes.
