Directions

1

Trim the leeks into ~1-2cm thick rounds, discarding the roots and tips. Wash them thoroughly in a under cold running water.

2

Melt the butter in a deep-sided pan and add the leeks. Cover with a lid and let them steam for about 15 minutes on a low heat, until soft.

3

Sprinkle the flour over the leeks, stir continuously for a couple of minutes to allow it to cook out.

4

Then add in the double cream, grainy mustard, grated cheddar and a little salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly.

5

Once the cream is hot and the mixture has started to bubble, stir in the butter beans and continue cooking for a couple of minutes.

6

Stir through the chopped parsley.

7

Meanwhile, lightly toast the sourdough and turn the grill on. Place the toast on a baking sheet or grill pan. Spoon the mixture on to the pieces of toast and place under the heated grill. Watch carefully and let cook until golden.

8

Top with generous spoons of Original Sauerkraut.
