The butter beans were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would cook them for a little longer next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover butter beans. I also added some chopped bacon to the leeks, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.

I love this recipe! It's so simple to make, but it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with roasted chicken or fish.

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used canned butter beans to save time, and the dish still turned out great. The leeks were perfectly tender and flavorful. I served it over pasta, and it was a great weeknight meal.
