Ingredients
- 2 Leeks
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon of sea salt
- 2 Garlic Cloves peeled and very finely sliced
- ½ bunch of flat leaf parsley washed and chopped
- 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds toasted and ground

- 2 x 400g tins of cannellini beans / butter beans
- 1 vegetable Stock Cube

Instructions
- Remove the ends from the leeks. Finely slice the leeks, then tip the leeks into a large colander and rinse well with cold water.
- Add the oil to a large heavy based frying pan & warm over a medium heat. Cook the leeks along with the salt and aautee, stirring often, until softened, around 10-15 mins.
- Add the sliced garlic and fennel seeds and sumac and cook, stirring, for one minute.
- Rinse the beans very well in cold water. Add the beans, along with ½ cup of water to the pan. Add the stock cube and mustard and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins, until thickened, use a fork to crush just some of the beans a little, to aid in thickening the sauce.
- If your mix is too thick, you can adjust with water, to your desired consistency.
- Add the zest and juice of the lemon and most of the chopped parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon into bowls and top with a drizzle of yoghurt and remaining parsley. Add a little more sumac or pepper, when serving, if desired.
