Directions
Butter Beans and Braised Leeks, Butter beans tend to be a little bland so don’t be afraid to season well This can be served over steamed rice of chilled as a salad , Tasty I needed a leek for another recipe and because they were sold in bundles of three, I ended up with two huge leeks that I needed to use for something else I love butter beans and I also had a couple of tomatoes that were about to turn so this recipe was perfect I had to use ground cardamom, and I think I might use more next time The equivalents chart I found said 1/2 tsp = 10 pods, so used a heaping 1/4 tsp, Next time, I might go for a scant 1/2 I already increased the garlic by one and probably could have gone with four cloves I also was not sure how much to let the broth cook down, and think I should have let more of the wine cook off or maybe used less vinegar because the apple cider vinegar I had on hand was a bit too sweet Overall, however, this was a delicious and healthy option for leeks , This was delicious Sort of like butter beans provencale I thought To cut back on the calories used less oil Instead of cardamom pods used a quarter teaspoon of dried which I had on hand This was a very healthful recipe, with lots of vitamin A and C and fiber Just the right amount of vinegar too (used cider vinegar) We didn’t have any leftovers so I couldn’t try it cold Next time I might double the recipe Thanks!
