Ingredients
Method
Prepare your ingredients.
Heat most of the oil in a large frying pan and add the leeks and asparagus with a pinch of salt. Fry over a medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the sliced garlic and mushrooms and continue to fry for another 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the rye breadcrumbs until crispy. Remove from the heat, cool and add the chopped basil.
Add the drained butter beans and vegetable stock to the other vegetables and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Stir through mustard and crème fraîche. Add salt and pepper to taste. The mixture should reduce to a thick creamy consistency.
Serve and garnish with the basil and rye breadcrumbs.

Fabulous Rupy! So much flavour for little effort. Will definitely be on repeat here 😍😋
This went down very well. I served it with a salmon fillet and it was perfect. Try filling and tasty. I did double the garlic!
Absolutely divine! Such a lovely meal if you want a break from having meat. Sensational flavours and so very easy. It’s a winner in our house!!!
Made it because I had leeks, asparagus and mushrooms to use up but didn't have quite enough of everything so also added some spring onions and some edamame beans. Didn't have crème fraîche so used 0% fat Greek yoghurt which was not a success as it curdled but tasted fine. Added some chopped halloumi too -However, it was really really tasty And I'll definitely make it again.
Lovely! I upped the protein content by grating and baking some tempeh for the crumbles instead of the rye bread.
Nice recipe but wish you could state what size can’s when using them? I used a small tin, assuming you meant half a full can, and it was far too many .
I enjoyed the meal. Very tasty!
This is an easy recipe which packs a lot of flavour. I'll definitely be making this again and again (big white bean fan here 👋)
My suggestion for non vegetarians: fry the breadcrumbs with some anchovies in oil, they disintegrate and add an extra kick to the dish (not that it needs it, but it's a nice variation when you make this often)
The prep and cook times are definitely not 15 minutes each, but well worth it. Very tasty.
Easy and very tasty
Another delicious recipe
I loved this so much! I subbed chickpea pasta. Next time o would add less of the pasta water, and more tamari sauce. Perfect meal. I also see being able to add more veggies if I was in the mood but - perfect as is.
A really pleasant, tasty, light meal which was perfect for me. As I was eating, I thought about vibrant green peas or long-stem broccoli with perhaps a little squeeze of fresh lemon, wild garlic now growing in abundance not far from us. The possibilities are endless! long stem broccoli with perhaps a little squeeze of fresh lemon, wild garlic now growing in abundance not far from us, the possibilities are endless! 😋
Unfortunately I didn’t have any fresh basil to hand or rye bread, however I did freshly bake a sourdough loaf today so I had a hunk of that and threw some roasted seeds onto my food before tucking in!😋 Thanks team. 💕
This has become a staple for lunch at home! Quick to cook and incredibly flavourful. I didn't use the bread and substituted the crème fraîche for cottage cheese and it's fantastic. Thank you so much for this recipe 😊
Really tasty - I replaced wholegrain for Dijon mustard as that’s all I had and it gave it a lovely zingy kick. Only negative is there are no leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
Tasty recipe, I did add mash as I don’t think it would be filling enough on its own. The only other change I made was cheddar instead of Parmesan cheese as that’s all I had available. Overall it’s an easy and tasty meal to throw together.
Delicious! Added some nutritional yeast which gave it a super tasty slightly cheesy twist.
Really tasty dish. Substituted some of the veg - red onion instead of leeks and yellow courgette instead of asparagus. Would definitely make again.
A lovely filling meal tasty easy to make added chicken and used Greek yogurt instead of crème fresh
Kept us feeling full and meant no snacks in the evening. We had it for supper. Would work well with chicken but beans were great. Could easily overcook veg so careful timing needed.
I didn’t have any bread or crème fraiche but was still delicious. I stirred in some cottage cheese. Yum
Such an amazing dish
