  • Ingredients
A homely fennel and bean stew with sweet leek, finished with lemon and topped with fried capers.
1. Place quinoa in a saucepan and cover with plenty of water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse.

2. Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp oil. Slice leek and dice carrot. Add to pan as you go. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in 3 tsp fennel seeds, 2 tbsp flour and crumble in 1 stock cube.

3. Halve tomatoes and dice zucchini. Add to pan along with drained beans. Stir in 2 1/2 cups water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened and vegetables are tender.

4. Drain, rinse and pat capers dry. Heat a small frypan over high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add capers and cook for 5 minutes until crispy. Add lemon zest and chopped parsley. Stir to combine, season with salt and pepper.

5. Squeeze 1/2 lemon juice into stew and season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls with quinoa. Top with capers.
