Baby Leeks with Crispy Crumbs recipe
This dish is beautiful as a side dish but it's also lovely as a light lunch when served with a few slices of crusty bread.
Ingredients:
- 50g breadcrumbs
- 500g baby leeks
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped tarragon
- 1 tsp. wholegrain mustard
- Salt and pepper
Method of Preparation:
-
Halve the leeks and steam them for around 6-7 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, crisp the crumbs by frying them in a frying pan with 1 tbsp. olive oil and some salt and pepper. Once they're golden, tip them onto some kitchen paper to drain of excess fat.
-
Make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, and mustard. Once smooth, stir in the tarragon and season well with salt and pepper.
-
Once the leeks are cooked, sprinkle the crumbs over the top of them and pour the dressing over them.
