A quick and simple leek dish that is perfect to serve with any roast meat.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium leeks
• 1 knob of butter
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 shallot
• Salt and pepper

Method of Preparation:

1. Wash the leeks and cut them in the middle lengthways before finely slicing them.

2. Finely slice the shallot into half-moons.

3. Heat the oil and butter together until foaming and then sauté the shallot for ten minutes until very tender.

4. Add the chopped leek and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until soft and delicious.

5. Season well with salt and pepper and then serve.

This dish will serve four people as a side dish. Fry some par-boiled new potatoes along with the onion to make this dish a little bit more substantial.
