Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 Leeks
1 Onion (chopped )
2 tbsp Miso paste
1 Can butter beans (drained )
Olive oil
1 tbsp Unsalted butter
a pinch of Chilli flakes
½ Lime
2 tbsp Parsley (chopped )
Salt & pepper
Recipe:
- Trim and cut the leeks lengthwise. Then cut each halves into two, leaving you with 8 pieces. Place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add two tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the leeks cut side down pressing on top of them for about 5 minutes, or until lightly charred. Flip on the other side, season with salt and pepper and add 50 ml of water to create a steam. Cook until all the water has evaporated and the leeks are tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan. Cook the onion until fragrant, then add the drained butter beans, and chilli flakes.
- Add the miso paste to a small bowl, and cover with 100 ml boiling water. Mix until all the miso paste is diluted in the water and add to the pan with the beans.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then add the leek back to the pan to reheat. Turn off the heat, add the lime juice and parsley. Season to taste with black pepper and enjoy.
