Leek Butter Beans

Servings 2
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans butter beans, drained
  • 2 leeks, sliced
  • 1 tbsp cornflour (US: cornstarch)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable stock powder
  • 100 ml milk, I have used soya milk
  • butter (or vegan butter)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 rosemary sprig

Instructions
 

  • In a pan, heat the butter and add the leek.
  • Cook until the leek goes very soft, I have put the lid on and stirred occasionally.
  • Add the cornflour and salt, then chickpeas, milk and stock.
  • Mix and let it simmer until it goes saucy and creamy.
  • If you like rosemary, add 2 steams at this point so it will release the flavour while the beans are cooking. (I really recommend it!)

Notes

Before serving add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and scoop it up with some toasted bread, straight from the pan!
