- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- freshly cracked black pepper

- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a deep frying pan or skillet on medium heat and add the pine nuts.

- Reheat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to high heat, and add the leeks. Fry for a few minutes or until they start to brown in places. Then add the tomatoes. Bring back to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with minced fresh marjoram and the toasted pine nuts.
