  3. For the mushrooms, finely chop the onion and mushrooms. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and fry off the onion until caramelised. Then add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the pan along with the mushrooms and fry until golden. Stir through the harissa, season with salt and pepper, and leave to cook for a few more minutes.
