Notes
- Leeks can vary in size greatly, however that won't make much of a difference to this recipe. If you have really big leeks, then you will just need to use a bit more butter.
- You can cut your leeks lengthways and then chop them, like we did or you can slice them in to rounds.
- If you find that your leeks are burning, firstly make sure that they are being cooked on low. You can also add a little olive oil to the butter, which will stop them from burning.
- Make sure that you don't overcook the leeks, as they can get a strange texture and go a bit slimy.
