Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 2 people

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!
