directions

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and simmer the potatoes and leeks for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the egg yolk in a small non-stick pan with 1 tablespoon of the fromage frais, the white wine vinegar and some seasoning.
  • Heat very gently (you don't want the egg to scramble), stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining fromage frais.
  • When the leeks are cooked, remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Leave the potatoes for a few minutes more unless they are already tender.
  • Carefully wrap a slice of ham around each leek.
  • Pour the sauce over the leeks and ham and serve with new potatoes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Aloha! I'm 29 years old and from the UK. My other half calls me his 1950's housewife because I just love to bake, preserve and cook in general! After studying catering at college I decided commercial cookery wasn't for me but I still like nothing more than discovering new dishes, throwing dinner parties and so on! I work on the recruitment side of a quantity surveying consultancy about 25 miles north of London. I love my job. It's hard work but fast paced, challenging and my work day just flies by. With regards to how I rate recipes, I try and keep it fair and to the system. I do my best to give no lower than 3 stars but will do on occasion if I made something as directed and it still ended up in the bin. I've never given 1 star but on occasion I'll leave no stars if I suspect something went horribly wrong. Most recipes get rated at 3/4 stars because 5 stars is reserved for spectacular recipes that become frequent users and a family favourite. Everyone has their own rating systems and that doesn't offend me. Rate my recipes as you see fit - I know what I like and what I don't and I'm here to fill my recipe book (filling anyone elses is merely an advantage), not to win a popularity competition or become chef of the year.
