- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice half (double for 4p).
- Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop into 1cm chunks.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Drain and rinse the cannellini beans in a sieve.
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the chopped leek and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the leek until softened, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Add the pork mince and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Add the courgette and cannellini beans to the pot along with the Central American spice and paprika. Cook for 1 min, stirring often.
- Add tomato paste, stock powder and 500ml water (double for 4p).

TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if necessary!
