“Leeks and beans” simply screams winter comfort food! And comforting for sure - this skillet dish is deliciously flavoursome and cooked with fresh leeks, cooked cannellini beans, thyme, garlic and cheesy seasonings such as miso paste and nutritional yeast. Finished off with melted vegan cheese on top, it’s a true delight to dig into and it’s fantastic served with roasted potatoes or fresh bread.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

• 1 tbsp vegan butter
• 2 stalks of leeks, sliced
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 cloves garlic, grated

• 1 tbsp white miso paste
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 250g cooked cannellini beans
• 400 ml vegetable stock
• 100g shredded vegan cheese

Method:

1. Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet and add the sliced leeks. Sprinkle with salt and stir regularly for 8-10 minutes or until the leeks have softened.
2. Stir through the grated garlic and, one fragrant, mix in the thyme, miso and nutritional yeast to evenly coat the leeks.
3. Add the drained cannellini beans and pour in the vegetable stock, then simmer for 10-12 minutes over medium/low heat.
