Buttered Leeks Recipe
A Scottish favourite, this is one of the best ways to cook leeks – slowly and gently in their own juice.
Ingredients
1.8kg leek, trimmed
50g butter, plus extra for serving
thyme leaves for garnish
Method
STEP 1
The day before you want to serve this dish, cut the leeks from top to root and wash thoroughly under cold running water. Thinly slice them on the diagonal and put into plastic bags and chill until ready to cook.
STEP 2
To serve, put a large pan over a medium heat, add the butter and let it melt over the base of the pan. Add the leeks and plenty of seasoning and stir to coat in the butter. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan and cook the leeks gently for about 15 minutes, stirring half way through until they are tender. Serve with extra butter and a sprinkling of thyme leaves.
