For a smoky flavor, roast the red pepper over an open flame until blackened, then peel and mince.
If you don't have truffle oil, you can substitute with a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Add a few drops of truffle essence for a bolder truffle flavor (optional).
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper in the harissa sauce to your preference.
The cannellini bean puree can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
For a vegan version, ensure the Dijon mustard is vegan-friendly.

  • Chad Kozey

    I found the harissa a little too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of red pepper flakes. It was perfect!

  • Chris Simonis

    The truffle oil in the bean puree is a game-changer! It adds a luxurious touch to the dish.
