Method
Prepare your butter beans first- you’ll need to soak for 8 hrs or overnight and then cook them.
Thinly slice your leek and add to a pan with olive oil, cook for 5 mins until soft. Add chopped garlic and chilli and cook for a further minute before adding your cooked beans with a bit of their cooking liquid if you still have it.
Add the miso paste to 200ml hot water and add to the pan, cover and cook for a further 5-10mins until broth has thickened. Add your greens and continue to cook for another minute to allow them to soften.
Check seasoning, serve in bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Zero Waste Tips
Look to buy your veggies plastic free from your local greengrocer or grower.
Buy miso in a glass jar that you can reuse for refills.
