Leek, Gorgonzola and Walnut Bean-Otto

by Bold Bean Co

Risotto in half the time! Say hello to our bean-otto. This one pairs earthy gorgonzola, creamy leeks and comforting white beans. Coming together in half an hour without compromising on flavour, this midweek supper for two is so simple. The gorgonzola melts into the creamy leeks and the bean base is the perfect canvas for any flavour you want to throw at it. Top with toasted walnuts for the perfect crunch.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Melt the butter and olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5-6 minutes then add the leeks and garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Increase the heat slightly then add the wine and stir until it has reduced and the alcohol has burned off, roughly 5 minutes. Then, add the beans with their bean stock plus the veg stock and reduce to a simmer for about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a separate pan for 1-2 minutes until golden. Roughly chop into smaller pieces.

Step 4

Stir ¾ of the parsley and a squeeze of lemon into the bean-otto and stir to combine. Season to taste.

Step 5

Divide the bean-otto between bowls. Scatter over the slices of cheese, remaining parsley and the toasted walnuts.
