Put the leeks in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle over the oil, season, then stir to coat in the oil. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, uncovered, then cover with a plate and microwave for a further 2 minutes. Stir well, add 1 chopped garlic clove and the lemon juice, cover again and microwave for 3 minutes on high.
Stir the drained beans, vegetable stock, peas and finely chopped basil stalks into the leek mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Uncover and gently stir in 3 tbsp crème fraîche; season.
Meanwhile, to make the gremolata, combine the chopped basil leaves with the lemon zest and remaining chopped garlic. Divide the stew between bowls, top with the gremolata, a little crème fraîche and an extra 1 tsp olive oil per bowl, if liked. Serve with crusty wholegrain bread.
WHY IT’S GOOD FOR YOU
Cooking a stew in the microwave is likely to preserve more heat-sensitive nutrients because of the relatively short cooking time. The cooking liquid also helps retain more water-soluble micronutrients, such as the folate found in the leeks.
