Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the drained cannellini beans in a bowl, and coat in oil and seasoning. Combine the harissa with 5ml of oil. Set the beans and harissa aside.
HARISSA & CANNELLINI
When the potatoes reach the halfway mark, remove from the oven and coat in the harissa oil (to taste). Scatter over the beans, spread out evenly, and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time until crispy, 10-15 minutes.
GET DRESSED & DO THE SALSA
Place the diced cucumber, the diced piquanté peppers, the sliced spring onion, and the chopped dates in a bowl. Toss together with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside for serving. Place the cashew cream cheese in a small bowl. Mix in ¾ of the chopped mint, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), and the zest (to taste). Gradually loosen with milk, a milk alternative, or water until drizzling consistency and season.
SAUTÉ AWAY
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, sauté the shredded spinach until wilted, 3-4 minutes. Add a generous squeeze of lemon, season, and remove from the heat.
FLAVOUR BURST!
Make a bed of the lemony spinach and pile on the harissa potatoes and the cannellini beans. Scatter over the salsa and drizzle with the minty cashew dressing. Garnish with the remaining mint and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Delicious, Chef!
