  1. It’s very easy and delicious!

    Ingredients:
    – Two big leeks (600g approx)
    – Butter
    – Black pepper
    – Two jars of white beans (they have 400g each)
    – Vegetable broth
    – Smoked paprika
    – Extra virgin olive oil

    Steps:
    – Cook the leeks on medium heat with one teaspoon butter and another of olive oil and black pepper to taste, until golden.
    – Add the beans and cook it for a bit more time.
    – Add veg stock until it covers the veggies (add salt if necessary but the stock will have it)
    – Simmer for about 10 mins.
    – Blend.
    – Mix smoked paprika with some olive oil and use it when plating. Add your preferred crunchy toppings.

    And that’s it! You can use any oil I guess, I used olive because it’s the most common in my country.

  2. It looks awesome! And the recipe is quite simple, plus from the picture it looks like a dish that came from a high end restaurant.

    Can you zhoozh it up with some saffron or turmeric? I feel like adding some yellow would increase the visual contrast and with saffron at least could add a lovely botanical note.

  4. This looks so good every time I scroll past. Mixing the paprika and oil for color that way is a trick I’ll have to remember.
