Ingredients
- 4 leeks 500g/17.5 ounces
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 100 ml double cream ½ cup
- 50 g blue cheese crumbled or chopped 1.75 ounces
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or wholegrain
- Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Thinly slice the leeks and wash to remove any dirt or debris (see how to clean leeks).
- Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring often for a few minutes.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let the leeks soften and ‘sweat’ for 7-10 minutes, stirring often. Check often so they don’t brown or scorch in the pan.
- Increase the heat to medium and stir in the cream, blue cheese, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
- Serve warm as a side dish, or on slices of toasted sourdough.
