Ingredients
- 50 g salted butter
- 280 g young fresh leeks
- 10 cl of single cream (optional)
- A pinch of chilli powder if you have some
Directions
- Step 1 Cut the white part of the leeks lengthwise and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry before cutting into thin slices and place them in a skillet. Warm up with the butter, stirring regularly to soften the leeks. Keep the temperature down so the leeks don’t turn golden. This should not take more than 5 minutes. Turn the stove off, add pepper, chilli if any, and set aside with the cover on.
- Step 2 Warm up the preparation just before serving, add the cream if you wish, season to your taste, and stir. It’s ready. Set the leeks fondue on your serving dish, preferably warmed up, place your cooked fish fillet or sauteed scallops on the bed of leeks and enjoy.
