Leek & Bean Orzo
Ingredients
- 180 gr orzo
- 2 leeks
- 400 gr lima beans
- 400 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- few sprigs of fresh thyme
- salt & black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the leeks in halve rings, and give them a good rinse! Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the leeks for about 4 minutes on medium heat.
- Mince the garlic and take the leaves of the thyme sprig (pull your fingers along the sprig from the tip downward). Add to the pan and fry everything for another 2-3 minutes until everything is soft.
- Add the orzo, stock and miso to the pan. Stir until the miso is dissolved. Then drain the can of lima beans and add to the pan.
- Turn down the heat a bit and let softly boil for another 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally so the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!
