    French Tart's Note:

    I sometimes struggle to come up with innovative & seasonal vegetable accompaniments; this recipe was devised when I had about 4 leeks left after making Leek & Potato soup, and about half a glass of Chardonnay!! It's a cross between poaching & steaming them in the Chardonnay, you don't want too much liquid. When you are ready to serve the leeks, add your creme fraiche & seasonings and you have an elegant & easy vegetable side dish! Try and use thin leeks rather than the tougher & larger leeks. Measurements are based on 4 people - I have allowed one leek per person, based on the fact that there will be other side dishes & maybe potatoes served as well.

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Wash the leeks thoroughly and trim of the very tough green tops and the woody base.
    2. 2
      Make sure you have some of the green as well as the white of the leeks.
    3. 3
      Cut the leeks into 1" diagonal slices.
    4. 4
      Put into a large saucepan and add the Chardonnay or white wine.
    5. 5
      Add the sugar and stir around.
    6. 6
      Bring to the boil, without a lid.
    7. 7
      Turn the heat right down, put the lid on and simmer very gently for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the leeks still hold their shape & colour, but are soft. (Cooking times vary on whether the slices are 1" or smaller/larger!).
    8. 8
      Add the creme fraiche, pepper & salt and mix gently.
    9. 9
      Serve with some chopped parsley as a garnish, making sure everyone gets some of the wine & cream sauce!
    10. 10
      N.B. Grated lemon is also very nice as a finishing touch, especially if you are serving it with fish.
