This Braised Leeks with Miso recipe
teams the soft, sweet vegetable with an umami hit, while dried red chilli adds
heat. Award-winning vegetarian food writer Anna Jones suggests using the green
tops of the leeks too, so nothing is wasted – they’re simply fried up until
crispy and scattered on top. For an extra kick, remove the cooked chilli,
roughly chop and stir through the sauce.

Ingredients
- 6 leeks, washed and dried
- 1 red chilli, halved and deseeded
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 25g unsalted butter
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3. Shred the green tops of the leeks and set aside. Put the white parts of the leeks in a large casserole dish with the chilli. Mix the miso with 400ml boiling water and pour into the dish. Bake for 50 mins, or until the leeks soften and brown a little.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the shredded leek tops for a few mins until they darken and start to crisp up; set aside.
Step 3
Remove the casserole dish from the oven; put over a high heat. Add the butter; bubble for 3-5 mins until you have a thick glaze. Scatter over the leek tops to finish.
