These “fancy” beans on toast provide a quick and easy dinner that comes together in minutes, all in one pan. Toast your favorite crusty loaf, pile it high with this moreish mixture, and you’re all set with a nourishing and tasty dinner or lunch. A base of leeks, shallot, and garlic is heightened with the zingy flavor of miso and mustard before adding beans and kale and a bit of vegetable stock.
Clean your leeks
Leeks can accumulate a lot of sand and dirt among their leaves. A quick way to clean, especially when you will end up cutting them finely, is to cut the leek lengthwise in quarters, while leaving the root intact. Then rinse the leaves under running water to remove any excess dirt and grit.
