INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked butter beans (170g)
200g extra firm tofu
1 medium leek
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt & black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked butter beans if using canned varieties. Pat the extra firm tofu dry and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Clean the leek thoroughly to remove any grit. Slice the leek into thin rounds, using both the white and light green parts.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the tofu cubes and gently stir, allowing them to lightly brown on the edges.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and add the cooked butter beans. Stir in the dried thyme and add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a simmer then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy it warm as a comforting, protein-rich meal.
