Method
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring regularly, for 5-6 mins until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins, then stir in the stock, beans, soy sauce and kale.
- Cover and simmer for 10 mins until the kale is tender. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for a further 5-7 mins until the flavour has intensified and it has slightly reduced.
- Meanwhile, add the eggs to a saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then turn the heat to low and cook for 6 mins. Prepare a large bowl of iced water.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the iced water and leave to cool for 5 mins.
- Carefully peel and halve the eggs, then toast the pittas. Stir the lemon juice through the broth, then divide between bowls, topping each with 2 egg halves. Serve with the warmed pittas alongside and a grind of fresh black pepper, if you like.
