    A lovely recipe, made it for friends for work, but would go great with a glass of cold wine!! Would definately make this again, probably using a little less oil and a little more paste

    Hubby & I loved this, and it introduced us to frozen soya beans which were delicious (much to our surprise).

    I couldn't get harissa paste, Tesco's had run out of stock, so I made my own by blending 1 tbsp chilli flakes, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground caraway seeds, 1/2 tsp of cumin and 1/2 tsp of salt. It worked really well and this is a hearty and tasty lunch/dinner. I really enjoyed it. I would definitely make it again with shop bought harissa to compare against my own attempt - my mouth is a little anaesthetised at the moment!!

    Great recipe, I wasn't hungry for hours afterwards. I've never used Soya beans and found them a superb find. One can vary the harissa to give the required kick, mine being blow the top of my head off :-)

    I had never tried soya beans either. the recipe is nice and easy and delicious. If you aren't keen on spicy foods (like me) just use a little harissa paste!!

    Lovely meal, nutritious and very filling; perfect for a quick lunch. The addition of harissa is genius, however I only used 1 tbs of olive oil for the dressing. Topped everything with a squeeze of lemon to boost the flavours a bit.
