lovely leeks and homegrown too


These leeks are so simple yet so delicious ... 5 ingredients in total. 

leeks           veg stock cube             water                butter             wine 

melt the butter in the pan (quite a big lump but really you can use what you need - butter is key though i dont think low fat spray would produce the same flavour, cut up your leeks, (I used 4 medium leeks - they shrink no end) keep stirring the leeks on a low heat, then the star ingredient: the wine, this added a gorgeous undertone to these buttery leeks ... I had a small glass full left in the bottle and i used that, crumble in the stock cube and simmer. I added water as need, a little at a time depending on how dry your leeks are getting,  and i cooked until the leeks were softnened! mmmm mmm I served these with sausage and mash, but literally i think they'd go with any roast meet or anything.
