One of my favorite go to weeknight dinners is this grilled white beans with leek because it comes together in less than an hour and honestly tastes like you spent way more time in the kitchen than you actually did. White beans are packed with fiber and protein, so this dish keeps me feeling satisfied long after dinner is over. The leeks get wonderfully charred on the grill, and combined with fresh lemon and garlic, they transform these humble beans into something really special. It's budget friendly, super simple, and makes a fantastic side dish or light main course depending on what else you're serving.
