Background

If you want a quick and easy side dish that goes well with fried, grilled or barbecued meat, try some warm leek and bean salad! In this recipe it's mixed with a mustard dressing, so it's particularly nice with pork or steak. It's low carb, gluten & dairy-free, so perfect for several diets.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp olive oil
2 large leeks
1 can white beans
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp grainy mustard
2 tsp cider vinegar
1 pinch of unrefined cane sugar (optional)
1 handful of parsley

Instructions

Thinly slice the leek. Drain the beans, rinse with water, then drain again.
Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a heavy based saucepan. Add the leek and a pinch of salt then cook on a low heat until tender. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile mix the mustards with the vinegar, sugar and the remaining oil. Finely chop the parsley.
When the leek has softened, add the beans and heat through. Take it off the heat, season to taste and stir in the parsley and the dressing.
Serve warm.
