Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. two bunches of leeks
  2. Cut
  3. Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut off tops of two bunches of leeks, and soak in cold water ten minutes;
  2. drain, and cook in boiling salted water about twenty minutes, or until tender;
  3. drain, and serve with White Sauce (see No.
  4. 207).
  5. The tops may be used for flavoring soups.
